All else being equal, there is a significant increase in the odds of Leaving
Certificate completion over time but this trend does not appear to result in a
clear reduction of class inequalities in educational outcomes.10 There is some
reduction in relative differences between lower professional and unskilled
workers, with an increase in the odds of Leaving Certificate completion for
10. The time variable is treated as linear in this analysis; similar results are found if years are
grouped into discrete time-periods.
