Goglio, V.; Bertolini, S.; Parigi, P. – Journal of Education and Work, 2023
The advantages of higher education have received significant attention over time. However, recent research seems to challenge this assumption. It highlights that returns to education may be subject to inflation, may vary in relation to skills, and may not be equally distributed, thus posing new questions about the role of formal education. Against…
