On one hand, housing is one of the basic human needs and the right to adequate housing has been classified as a basic human right.

The aim of this study is to address the question of how inequalities in access to tertiary education have evolved in the Czech Republic. With an understanding of the basic parameters of both the contemporary political and institutional reforms and those in effect prior to November 1989, the authors have formulated a hypothesis which claims that the period of stable inequalities in the years 1948-89 was replaced by a period of growing inequalities during the post-communist transformation.

It does so by providing an overview of the main theoretical approaches to the issue and an inventory of existing indicators on which the research, political debates and policies have been centred, and by proposing an internationally comparable system of quantitative indicators.

abstract
Topic: housing, public policy
The paper addresses the development of higher education in the Czech Republic after 1989. Using a loglinear analysis the authors modelled the influence of social origin on the chances of making a successful transition between secondary and tertiary education in the years between 1948 and 1999. The initial hypothesis of the growing influence of social origin on this transition in the period after 1989 was confirmed by the authors in their analysis of data.
