Based on the qualitative analysis of discourse of working-class students, we addressed their experiences as university students in the Spanish context, where important changes have affected the conditions of entering and remaining in the university. We observed that attending a university has become more costly and uncertain, and therefore less attractive for working-class students. We believe that this finding is related to the reduction in university enrollment that has occurred since the implementation of new university policies in 2012. In any case, the new conditions do not seem to contribute to solving the problems of efficiency and inequality in Spain's university system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to achieve a better understanding of the deprivation inequalities existing between immigrants from poor countries and natives. We assume that this risk is mainly explained by social class, but it is also necessary to consider immigrant-specific factors that may increase it. The analysis consisted of a combination of factorial and cluster analyses in order to obtain a typology of material deprivation, as well as several multinomial logistic regressions to determine which socio-demographic factors are more closely associated with each profile of material deprivation. The results indicate that social class is a powerful factor in explaining the material deprivation of immigrants from poor countries, but that it is not the only one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
