1. Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Education at a Glance Better education or lower pay

2. Better education or lower pay Large and often growing earning differentials In the current economic environment… … Opportunity costs for education decline Dominated by lost earnings, not tuition (US is exception) … Labour-market entry becomes more difficult as young graduates compete with experienced workers … Job prospects for less qualified deteriorate further … Young people with lower qualifications who become unemployed are likely to spend a long time out of work In most countries over half of low-qualified unemployed 25-34-year-olds are long-term unemployed … Higher risks for systems with significant work-based training … Gaps in educational attainment between younger and older cohorts likely to widen This suggests educational participation to rise further In systems where high tuition limits increased participation additional public spending can leverage additional participation and thus additional public benefits Countries without significant household spending can improve participation through widening funding base .
