Overeducation in Europe

Edited by Felix Büchel, Andries de Grip and Antje Mertens

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Overeducation is one of the most important mechanisms for labour market adjustment when there is an excess supply of highly skilled workers. However, there is much debate about the consequences of this phenomena and the short- and long-term effects for both the overeducated worker and the economy as a whole. This book contributes to our understanding of recent developments in the research on overeducation by providing a detailed overview of the pertinent theoretical and policy issues.
