Vardy, Amanda – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2022
The foundation degree was introduced by David Blunkett in England in the year 2000 to widen participation and raise the skill level of the labour market.

Vogel, Jonathan – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2023
What is the impact of the minimum wage on the college wage premium? I show that job-ladder models imply that the effect should be small on impact--raising only the wages of workers bound by the minimum wage--and grow over time as workers slowly move up the job ladder. Guided by my theory, I present evidence that these dynamic effects are present…

Data showing what students earn after attending higher education institutions have become increasingly available, bolstering calls from policymakers and advocates that government financial aid programs should be tied to those outcomes.
