“…At the same time, the professionalization of management has augmented the demand for educated managers (Shenhav 1995). According to this explanatory framework, educational expansion thus is, in part, a result of labor market demand in new and developing occupations (Konstantinovskiy 2017). However, even after the demand for these occupations decreased, the supply of highly skilled workers persisted to increase (Beaudry et al 2014(Beaudry et al , 2016, due to adaptive expectations (Giannini 2003).…”

More necessary and less sufficient: an age-period-cohort approach to overeducation from a comparative perspective

In many countries, the skilled labor market has lagged educational expansion. As a result of increased competition, younger cohorts of the highly educated face decreasing returns to education or overeducation. Surprisingly, decreasing occupational outcomes do not coincide empirically with the economic returns among those with tertiary education. Regarding the process of changes in economic returns to education based on cohort transformations, we expect that the expansion of tertiary education affects specific cohorts, which find themselves facing more labor market competition. As a result, the economic returns to education should decrease among younger cohorts even when the overall returns to education remain stable over time. To study this process, we model economic returns with a new age-period-cohort-trended lag (APCTLAG) method, which allows us to compare the gap in economic returns between tertiary and less than tertiary education over cohorts. Using the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS), we analyze trends over three decades in 12 countries. Our results confirm that educational returns for tertiary education have declined over time, even though the gap between the educated and the less educated has remained similar in most of the countries. For younger cohorts, tertiary education has become more necessary to survive in the competitive labor market, but the actual economic returns have decreased-making tertiary education less sufficient than before.

“…The sphere of education also experienced a cycle of turmoil and uncertainty in the 1990s followed by recovery and stabilization in the 2000s. These trends were particularly evident in higher education (Konstantinovskiy 2017; Smolentseva 2017). In the 1990s, demand for university education declined.…”

“…Chaos in the higher education system subsided as new hierarchies and a new institutional framework for public and private institutions emerged (Smolentseva 2017). The chaos of the 1990s reduced the value and signaling function of educational credentials, but the 2000s saw a resurgence of their importance, and shrinking cohorts entering the standard ages for university enrollment created more opportunities for older students to enroll (Konstantinovskiy 2017; Shishkin 2004). Thus, Hypothesis 7a applies more clearly to the turbulent years of the post-Soviet era, whereas Hypothesis 7b quite likely applies to the recovery years of the 2000s.…”

Adult education influences how labor market opportunities are structured in the later life course. We propose a theoretical framework for understanding the stratifying role of adult education resting on the distinction between two forms of adult education-upgrading and sidestepping: Resources, incentives, and selection processes systematically structure rates of participation. Using educational history data from Russia, we test hypotheses derived from our framework and examine the impact of the Soviet collapse and the ensuing economic recovery. Upgrading exacerbates patterns of socioeconomic stratification by delivering better credentials to individuals with higher levels of initial resources. Sidestepping is less common than upgrading and less related to socioeconomic origins and previous attainment. The Soviet collapse produced short-term declines in the rates of both upgrading and sidestepping. However, once growth resumed, market institutions proved durable, and the political regime stabilized, rates of upgrading soared to levels exceeding those of the Soviet era.

Od tego czasu wśród badaczy społecznych zajmuojących się problematyką nierówności w dostępie do szkolnictwa wyższego panuje swoisty consensus odnośnie do tego, że były i są one zjawiskiem właściwie powszechnym i stanowią jeden z najważniejszych, nierozwiązanych społecznych problemów współczesności (Konstantinovsky, 2017;Liu, Green, Pensiero, 2016;Shavit i in. 2007;Waller i in.…”

Artykuł prezentuje dynamikę zmian w obecności młodzieży wiejskiej w strukturze wszystkich typów studiów wyższych w Uniwersytecie Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu w latach 2006-2018. Kluczową rolę w przemianach szkolnictwa wyższego w tym okresie odegrał głęboki niż demograficzny, który zmienił strukturę całego szkolnictwa wyższego i studiów wyższych w Polsce. Proces ten definiowany jako – demasyfikacja uniwersytetu – w znaczący sposób wpłynął na dostępność studiów wyższych dla młodzieży wiejskiej, która okazała się jednym z głównych beneficjentów niżu demograficznego. Tym samym młodzież wiejska wykorzystała `efekt nasycenia` systemu (koncepcja Effectively Maintained Inequality S. Lucasa) młodzieżą wielkomiejską (o wyższym poziomie kapitału kulturowego) i „zajęła” dostępne na bezpłatnych publicznych uniwersytetach wolne miejsca.
