Abstract:
The objective of the paper is to investigate the relationship between education and employment level in 27 member countries of OECD over the period 1998-2019. To achieve this, the paper first analyses the effect of the number of graduates from upper secondary, post-secondary and tertiary education programmes. Additionally, the paper constructs an education index which covers graduates from upper secondary, post-secondary and tertiary education programmes. After calculating distribution of graduates using the standard deviation method, the paper employs two-step system GMM developed by Arellano and Bover (1995) and Blundell and Bond (1998). The findings show that graduates from upper secondary, post-secondary and tertiary education, as well as the distribution of graduates, have a positive effect on employment, respectively. It is expected that policymakers consider the effect of graduates from different education levels on employment to design substantial education and employment strategies.
