Gilboa, Yaakov – Journal of Education and Work, 2023
Much research has been made in recent years on the effect of over and under education on earnings.

OECD Publishing, 2022
The labour market outcomes for native- and foreign-born adults during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic vary considerably across countries -- with inequalities in employment even falling in some cases compared to 2017.

Barcellos, Silvia H.; Carvalho, Leandro; Turley, Patrick – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
This paper investigates whether education weakens the relationship between early-life disadvantages and later-life SES.

Besides early, favorable family and neighborhood conditions, we argue that the genes a child inherits also represent a source of…
