A fresh look is being taken at the link between higher education and employment because education is today considered a strategic resource, and the spread of technological progress is generating demand for increasingly higher professional qualifications. At the same time, certain categories of graduates are still unable to find employment, or to have to accept being downgraded to less qualified jobs. The four volumes in this series gather together all of the data available in OECD countries at the end of 1990 on flows of graduates from higher education and their entry into employment. From the conceptual standpoint, each country has done its best to assemble and present data in such a way that a comparison of outflows from higher education and inflows into working life can be made -- though the differences in approach and philosophy from one country to another are plain.
