maximally maintained inequality  

Définition

  • The maximally maintained inequality (MMI) hypothesis claims that education expansion causes the decline in quantitative inequalities in enrollment rates once the enrollment rate for the most advantaged socioeconomic (SES) group approaches the saturation point. MMI predicts the decrease of family background effect on educational attainment after the saturation point for the high SES groups has been reached.
