本文评估了教育产品在英国劳动力市场上的利用程度，以及最近的利用情况如何变化。我们区分了“教育不足”、“教育过剩”和“资格膨胀”的概念。根据四项调查的数据，我们发现过度教育虽然严重，但自20世纪80年代中期以来一直保持稳定。虽然观察到的过度教育在一定程度上与与受教育同龄人相比的能力低下有关，但过度教育和技能利用不足也与劳动力市场的不匹配有关，两者都涉及工资损失。我们的结论是，为了为政策提供信息，应该密切监测教育和技能的利用。版权归布莱克威尔出版有限公司和曼彻斯特维多利亚大学所有
This paper assesses how far the products of education are utilized in the British labour market, and how utilization has recently changed. We distinguish the concepts of "under-education", "over-education" and "qualification inflation". Using data from four surveys we find that over-education, while substantial, has been stable since the mid-1980s. Although observed over-education is partly associated with low ability compared with one's educational peers, both over-education and skill under-utilization are also associated with mismatch in the labour market, and both involve a loss of wages. We conclude that, in order to inform policy, education and skill utilization should be closely monitored. Copyright 2002 by Blackwell Publishers Ltd and The Victoria University of Manchester
