An unequal territorial distribution of educational and scholastic supply limits accessibility to a complete educational and education system and the development of specific skills and abilities, exposing young people to a condition of educational and social fragility. In this study we develop an analysis of the educational and schooling pathways of young people aged 0-24 in the 14 Italian metropolitan cities and we verify whether there is a territorial differential, between more urbanised contexts and municipalities distant from the capital city, in the use of the educational and schooling system, in the supply structures and in the levels of education achieved.
