Résumé anglais Alain Darbel : Regional or social inequalities? An attempt to explain dropout rates in secondary education. Local differences in drop-out rates in secondary education appear to be explained by a simple model. If one assumes that an individual's behavior is determined by the « play » of probabilities of success, that is, by experiences and aspirations derived from his social class and his reference group, contradictions between the approach assuming general social determinism and that of particular ecological determinism tend to disappear. A mathematical model is used to verify the theoretical propositions, while recognising that regional inequalities sometimes mask fundamental social inequalities. Finally, this model has wider application in other economic and social fields.
