Educational qualifications mismatch in Europe. Is it demand or supply driven

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive analysis of the current position of the literature on skills mismatch and highlight areas which are relatively underdeveloped and may warrant further research, using data from the European Skills and Jobs Survey, assessing the incidence of various combinations of skills mismatch across the EU.

TL;DR: A recurring question in public and scientific debates is whether occupation-specific skills enhance labor market outcomes as discussed by the authors, and whether it is beneficial to have an educational degree that is linked to only one occupation.

TL;DR: This paper investigated to what extent differences in educational mismatches across countries and fields of study are explained by differences in labour institutions, educational institutions, and labour market imbalances, and concluded that both educational program characteristics and imbalance being explanatory factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the impact of entrepreneurial education and its impact on job-skills matches for higher education graduates, finding that higher levels of entrepreneurial skills (defined as scanning and search, association and connection, and evaluation and judgement) reduce the probability of over-education for university graduates in 18 OECD countries five years after graduation.

TL;DR: The authors provides a detailed overview of the pertinent theoretical and policy issues in the field of overeducation and its consequences on the individual and the economy as a whole, and contributes to our understanding of recent developments in the research.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a theoretical framework where within graduates wage inequality is related to overeducation/educational mismatch in the labor market and suggested the importance of considering education quality as a policy instrument for reducing educational mismatch and wage inequality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of over-and undereducation on job satisfaction, mobility, training participation and wages was investigated. But the sign, magnitude and significance of the effects largely diverged between these measures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined overeducation as both a cause and effect of migration, and found that families with an o-vereducated spouse are more likely to migrate.
