Educational and occupational aspiration levels of secondary school students (grades 10 to 13) in Midnorthern Ontario, Canada were examined in conjunction with selected social and demographic factors. Data were obtained via 22,158 completed questionnaires (36 items in French and English for males and females) administered in 1972. Major variables examined were: place of residence (the major control variable including farm, village, town, and city); background and home factors (sex, age, language spoken at home, family size, and father's and mother's education level); school factors (grade level, program focus, grades, school proximity); recreation factors (school and non-school sports, church activities, youth clubs, 4-H, school clubs or government, and number of extracurricular activities); mobility factor (willingness to leave the community to find a job). Findings indicated: educational and occupational aspiration levels were related to place of residence and sex differences (aspirations were higher among urban and female youth); educational aspiration levels were related to language spoken at home, father and mother's education level, grade level, academic program, grades, participation levels, and the mobility factor; occupational aspiration levels were related to grade level, academic program and grades, participation in school government or clubs, and number of extracurricular activities.
