Students with children and the openness of higher education

Original language description

Recently, approximately in the last two decades, the higher education system has undergone many changes, among others, the number of students studying at universities is much higher (e.g. IESALC 2020), and the student population is becoming increasingly diversified. The policy of widening participation has led to an increase in the number of mature students, including those with parental responsibilities (Moreau 2014, Brooks 2012). Being a student-parent means dealing with multiple roles (Haugas 2018, Briegel et al. 2023), facing the challenges of being both students and parents, often workers, which means that student-parents tend to be time constrained by family responsibilities and work activities. It is important to examine the situation of thisdiverse group of students with different needs to be able to support them (Briegel et al. 2023) and identify the differences between their needs and institutional and national policies (Moreau, 2014). This Intelligence Brief gives a first glimpse overview of the student-parents population in 24 countries that participated in EUROSTUDENT 8 survey. We are interested in who the student- parents are and what are the differences between the countries. We will also raise the question to what extent the fertility rate and openness of higher education (form of study and transition to higher education) influence the situation.
