To expand this evidence base, the Strategic Society Centre undertook detailed quantitative analysis on young people with financial concerns about the cost of university, using the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/strategicsociety.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Access-for-All1.pdf\">Access for All<\/a>:\u00a0An investigation of

Lloyd<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The research provides new insights into the socio-economic, demographic and parental drivers of young people&#8217;s financial concerns with university, as well those factors which support such concerned young people eventually deciding in favour of participating in higher education.<\/p>\n<p>To accompany the research, the Strategic Society Centre is publishing a

All<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Author: James Lloyd<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This report considers what the findings of the research suggest about the design and effectiveness of the post-2012 student finance regime in England, and the aim of ensuring that young people do not feel deterred from university by the cost.<\/p>\n<p>The report considers the potential for using alternative criteria besides household income for targeting financial support, reviews the importance of parental factors in shaping young people&#8217;s financial concerns and identifies the need for more research on subjective influences on the perceived rewards to investment in higher education.<\/p>\n<p>The Access for All project was made possible by the kind support of Universities UK and
