Huntington-Klein, Nick – Center for Education Data & Research, 2015
The decision to pursue formal education has significant labor market implications. To approach the decision rationally, a student must consider the costs and benefits of each available option. However, mounting empirical evidence suggests that reported expectations of costs and benefits are uncertain and vary across students. Hastings et al.…

Lovenheim, Michael F.; Willén, Alexander – Education Next, 2016

Dockery, Alfred Michael; Miller, Paul W. – National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), 2012
It is well established that workers with more years of education earn higher wages. By establishing a reference or "required" level of education for a worker's occupation, it is possible to decompose an individual's actual level of education into years of required education and years of over-education or under-education relative to that…

Jung, Jisun; Lee, Soo Jeung – Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 2016
Obtaining a tertiary degree no longer guarantees entry to the best occupational positions in today's labour market.

This study aims to understand whether university prestige in Korea accounts for occupational outcomes in both…

Keeping the supply and demand dynamics of basic economic…

Lu, Tham – National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), 2015
Many students do not complete full qualifications in the vocational education and training (VET) system because their intention is to obtain only the particular skills they require.
