Educational expansion in the Netherlands: better chances for all?

Abstract: Higher education in the Netherlands has expanded rapidly in the last two decades, giving rise to concerns about possible negative effects on educational quality and the labour market value of a higher education degree. In this paper, we use data from national graduate surveys and adult literacy surveys to explore this.

“…The present study makes use of data on graduates from professional universities, who comprise almost two-thirds of the annual outflow from Dutch HE to the labour market (Allen and Belfi 2020).

Allen and Belfi (2020) investigated the impact of higher-education expansion on university graduates from 1996 to 2017 in the Netherlands. Results suggested that the expansion of higher education has rapidly increased the level of job skills required of graduates.…”
