Is Expansion of Overeducation Cohort-Driven? Evidence from Poland

Eastern European Economics, 2025, vol. 63, issue 1, 125-152

Abstract: The paper examines factors behind the expansion of overeducation incidence among tertiary educated workers in Poland, which grew by up to 8 percentage points from 2006–2020. It is one of the first attempts in the literature to explain changes in overeducation incidence using age, cohort, and period effects simultaneously. The study finds a strong upward cohort shift in the overeducation risk for workers born after 1970. It suggests that the overeducation expansion in Poland is a cohort-driven phenomenon and it affects more profoundly individuals who received their tertiary education after the collapse of communism.
