Impact of Family Educational Background on Graduate Outcomes

This analysis explores relationships between parental levels of educational attainment, borrowing patterns, changes in debt and repayment levels, and decisions about returning to study within a few years of graduation among first degree holders from the Class of 1999. The analysis takes into account the context of changes in government student financial assistance policies at both federal and Maritime provincial levels.
