At start glance, the response isn’t encouraging: the issue of unemployed tertiary-educated adults has been increasing across OECD countries for many years.

The latest Education Indicators inwards Focus policy brief analyses long-term trends inwards utilisation outcomes of adults based on their highest flat of educational attainment. The figure to a higher identify shows that, inwards all OECD countries, adults amongst 3rd pedagogy all the same relish higher utilisation rates than those without past times 10 pct points, on average, in addition to this reward has changed picayune over the past times 2 decades.
While this mightiness seem reassuring, inwards to a greater extent than or less countries the reality is to a greater extent than troubling. In Korea, for example, labour marketplace request has non kept measuring amongst an ever-increasing provide of 3rd graduates. As a result, the utilisation reward of tertiary-educated adults decreased slightly, past times 0.6 point, betwixt 1995 in addition to 2006. In 1995, tertiary-educated adults inwards Korea were 13% to a greater extent than probable to travel employed than those amongst an upper-secondary or post-secondary non-tertiary education; today they are entirely 6% to a greater extent than probable to convey a job. With 70% of immature adults inwards Korea belongings a 3rd degree, to a greater extent than or less mightiness wonder whether 3rd expansion has reached its limit. But amongst populations of school-aged children shrinking across OECD countries, the worry close likewise many academy graduates competing for likewise few high-skilled jobs mightiness bear witness to travel misplaced.
The “knowledge economy” has increased the request for better-educated in addition to well-skilled workers. But inwards many countries, fifty-fifty every bit enrolments inwards higher pedagogy convey grown, companies all the same study that they cannot abide by workers amongst the skills they are looking for. While technological progress in addition to globalisation conk along to challenge pedagogy systems, automation in addition to digitalisation volition be, inwards the words of 2 Harvard economists*, an ongoing “race betwixt pedagogy in addition to technology”. Countries should hence worry less close the portion of tertiary-educated adults inwards the labour forcefulness in addition to to a greater extent than close the skills that pedagogy provides. Ensuring that the skills students graduate amongst are relevant to the labour marketplace volition become a long agency towards making the expansion of higher pedagogy sustainable – in addition to beneficial for all.
