Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Ana Luíza Matos de. Profile of undergraduate students between 2001 and 2015: a review. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.1, pp.237-252. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772021000100013.

In a multidimensional perspective regarding inequality, the article aims to verify whether the literature and commonly used databases allow to identify a democratization of access to higher education between 2001 and 2015 and if there is any gap in the studies that analyze the profile of undergraduate students in the period. The article consists of introduction, review of the literature, overview of the main databases and research on the profile of the students and concludes by identifying possible gaps and future research agenda. The literature points to a democratization of the student profile. However, there is a lack of an annual comparison of students from the public and private sectors together regarding color / race, income and region, which could be built from PNAD.
