Abstract

This article examines the relationship between education and occupation over the course of educational expansion. The authors analyse European Union Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) data from 2014, 2015, and 2016 from 30 European countries and work with 12 graduated cohorts defined by the year in which they left the education system (2003–2014). They use a multilevel model approach and measure education in both absolute and relative terms. The results show that during the time of educational expansion there was no change in the relationship between education and occupation if education is conceptualised in absolute terms. However, a change in this relationship is visible when education is conceptualised as a positional good. Many previous studies that have posed a similar research question did not consider study field. The results here show that the role of study field changed during this time of educational expansion, with natural science, computer, and IT study fields growing stronger than other fields of study. The authors interpret the strengthening of education as a positional good in reference to the theory of skill-biased technological change.
教育正在弱化职业的决定因素吗?欧洲30个国家的教育扩张与职业教育回报
本文考察了教育扩张过程中教育与职业的关系。作者分析了2014年、2015年和2016年来自30个欧洲国家的欧盟劳动力调查(EU-LFS)数据,并与12名毕业生进行了合作,这些毕业生是根据他们离开教育系统的年份(2003-2014年)确定的。他们使用多层模型方法,以绝对和相对两种方式衡量教育。研究结果表明,在教育扩张时期,如果将教育概念绝对化,教育与职业之间的关系没有变化。然而,当教育被概念化为一种位置商品时,这种关系的变化是显而易见的。以前的许多研究都提出了类似的研究问题,但没有考虑研究领域。研究结果表明,在这一教育扩张时期,研究领域的作用发生了变化,自然科学、计算机和IT研究领域的发展势头强于其他研究领域。根据技能偏向的技术变革理论,作者将加强教育解释为一种位置商品。
