| Annotation | It is widely accepted that an accurate assessment of the extent to which graduates benefit from higher education is essential for the effective development of policy in this area. This report examines two dimensions of labour market success (employment and wages) in the United Kingdom (UK) in the early 1990s for a group of 33-year-olds who undertook higher education, and compares their performance with a similarly aged group who obtained A-levels but did not proceed to higher education. The data used originated from the National Child Development Survey (NCDS), a continuing survey of individuals born in Britain between 3 and 9 March 1958. Findings revealed that women graduates were more likely than women non-graduates to be in employment, and both male and female graduates had higher wages than their non-graduate counterparts. Implications for future policy are discussed. |
