Overeducation

Then and Now

Val Burris

University of Oregon

Overeducation has become a topic of increasing interest among social scientists. The reissue of one of the seminal works on overeducation, Ivar Berg’s Education and Jobs, provides an occasion for some observations about the development of this literature. Advances have been made in our understanding of overeducation, but many of the broader sociological concerns raised in the early literature are poorly addressed in the recent research.

Key Words: overeducation • labor market • employment • earnings • job satisfaction
