As regional inequalities in economic prosperity have increased in Denmark in recent years, the political tools for slowing down this development are taking up space in public debates. The geographical location of public institutions, in particular educational institutions, has become a political hot topic in recent years in Denmark.
In this thesis, I paint a broader picture of the impact of geographical access to educational institutions than has previously been available for Denmark. By focussing on two central educational choices for young people, choice of youth education and choice of higher education, this thesis provides new evidence for the associations between geographical proximity to education, educational choices and regional mobility during the life-cycle of the individual.
