The Impact of Shifts in Supply of College Graduates: Repercussion of Educational Reform in Korea.

Choi, Kang-Shik

Economics of Education Review, v15 n1 p1-9 Feb 1996

A 1980 shift in Korean education policy suddenly increased the number of college entrants by 30% and reduced young college graduates' wages relative to those of young high school graduates. Older college graduates' wages increased slightly. This paper examines labor supply effects and shows that 1980s technology changes increased the relative demand for more educated workers.
