5. Education in times of economic uncertainty In the current economic environment… … Continued strong demand for education Poor labour markets and low opportunity costs for education … Substantial public and private gains from education Earnings premium for tertiary education remains large and continues to grow - Public long-term gains from higher education are almost three times the size of the investments … High-level skills key to competitiveness … Comparative cost advantage across OECD countries varies with educational levels … Labour-market entry becomes more difficult Particularly for young lower educated individuals … Education a good insurance against unemployment and to stay employed especially in weak labour markets Educational attainment likely to rise further Continuing education increasingly important.
