“…The change in employment is analysed in accordance with the related literature by looking at the percentage change in relative employment or employment share in the wage or skill terciles of jobs as mentioned above (Oesch and Rodriguez-Menes 2011;Goos et al 2014;Kupets 2016). To group the jobs into low-skill, middle-skill and high-skill jobs, I use median earnings as a proxy of the job skill.…”

The objective of this study is twofold. First, it investigates the association between technological change and over-education by analysing incidence of overeducation and its change across skill-based and task-based job categories. Second, it compares countries with different employment change pattern-mainly upgrading and polarizing-to establish a link between employment polarization and overeducation. Using data from European Labour Force Survey covering the period from 1999 to 2007, the paper analyses four countries of Europe-Germany, Spain, Sweden and UK. The results suggest higher incidence of over-education in polarized countries-Spain and UK as compared to countries with a somewhat upgrading pattern of employment change-Germany and Sweden. It also reveals that in Spain and UK, over-education is prominent and increasing over time in the low-skill jobs which are mostly non-routine manual in nature, while Germany and Sweden have more over-educated workers in middle skilled routine and high skilled analytical jobs. I find similar results in both descriptive and job fixed effects regressions.

“…The incidence of over-and under-education could be demand or supply driven. The demand factors are labour market structural imbalances (Davia, McGuinness and O'Connell, 2017), over-supply of jobs for low-skilled workers (Kupets, 2016), economic conditions (Kiersztyn, 2013), and technological requirements (Mendes de Oliveira, Santos and Kiker, 2000;Ghignoni and Verashchagina, 2014). The supply factor is the excessive number of tertiary education graduates (Kupets, 2016), who see education as a positional good required in order to stay ahead in the labour queue (Di Stasio, Bol and Van de Werfhorst, 2016).…”

The effects of ability on returns to over‐ and under‐education: Evidence from Malaysia

In Malaysia, skilled‐job creation does not match the rising number of tertiary‐educated workers. The resultant accumulation of skill and ability competencies and work experience raises the question of the extent to which this enhances (mitigates) the wage premium (penalty) of over‐education (under‐education). Using data collected in Peninsular Malaysia in 2015, the authors estimate the effects of ability on returns to education. Their findings suggest that improving specific types of ability may be a means of rectifying wage deficiencies resulting from over‐ and under‐education. On this basis, human resource development in schools and in the workplace should focus on developing job‐specific workplace abilities.

“…Pour expliquer les défauts d'appariement entre niveau de diplôme et emploi, on peut regarder du côté de la demande ou du côté de l'offre. Parmi les facteurs qui interviennent du côté de la demande, il faut citer les déséquilibres structurels du marché du travail (Davia, McGuinness et O'Connell, 2017), un besoin considérable de main-d'oeuvre peu qualifiée (Kupets, 2016), la conjoncture économique (Kiersztyn, 2013) ;Ghignoni et Verashchagina, 2014). Du côté de l'offre, on mentionnera un afflux de diplômés de l'enseignement supérieur (Kupets, 2016), pour qui le diplôme est un bien «de position», c'est-à-dire un bien dont la valeur dépend de la position relative de l'individu par rapport au groupe, et qui est utile pour se placer dans la file d'attente vers l'emploi (Di Stasio, Bol et Van de Werfhorst, 2016).…”

L'effet de la qualification globale sur les rendements de la suréducation et de la sous‐éducation: résultats pour la Malaisie

Résumé En Malaisie, l'offre d'emplois qualifiés ne suffit pas à absorber l'afflux de diplômés du supérieur, une situation qui pourrait renforcer la prime salariale des travailleurs surdiplômés et réduire la pénalité salariale des sous‐diplômés. Dans ce contexte, les auteurs s'intéressent à l'effet des compétences au sens large (la «qualification globale») sur ces distorsions, en exploitant des données d'enquête recueillies en 2015 en Malaisie péninsulaire. L'analyse montre que la détention de certaines compétences limite les pénalités induites par les défauts d'appariement sous l'angle du niveau de diplôme. Les établissements de formation et les entreprises auraient donc intérêt à promouvoir l'acquisition de capacités spécifiquement liées à l'emploi.
