“…Studies which investigate the rates of return for education are likely to differ in many regards. However, on average, studies found that individuals with higher education levels are often associated with higher labour market earnings (Beblavy, Teteryatnikova, & Thum, 2013;Liu, Belfield, & Trimble, 2015;Yunus & Said, 2016;Yunus & Hamid, 2016). Similarly, it is found that education generally shares a positive association with the probability of employment, where more educated candidates are not only more prone to procure employment than the less educated candidates, but also more likely to procure better employment (Cellini & Chaudhary, 2014;Yunus & Said, 2016).…”

“…Different types of mathematical content have to be included for innovative mathematics. An incentive through private and public funding schemes, Skillsbased on technological change in higher education degrees, the rising social reputation of education, and incentive to achieve college degrees were required in part for the expansion Pokharel Teachers' Perception on Reducing… 161 of higher education (Beblavy et al, 2014). The rule of government and universities made huge funds for incentives to degree holders.…”

Background: Students' enrollment taking mathematics as a major subject has decreased at the university level in recent years. Difficulty in subject matters, the attitude of students, the learning environment, uses of mathematics knowledge in real life, and existing evaluation systems could influence learners' enrollments at the university level. The purpose of this study is to identify causes for reducing the learners' enrollment at a higher level in mathematics. Objective: This study desires to investigate the perception of teachers on the dependent variable as a reduction of students' enrollment in mathematics and independent variables, namely difficulty in subject matters, the attitude of learners, learning environment, application of mathematics in real life, and existing evaluation systems and find relation and influence. Methodology: This inquiry consists of 109 faculty members with qualifications of master’s degree or above in mathematics based on the survey research design in Pokhara valley and its surrounding. A three-point Likert-scale survey questionnaire, 31 structured questions related to dependent variables and independent variables was made and administered by the researcher to the teachers. Result: This study concluded that reducing learners’ enrollment is remarkably confidently correlated with the attitude of students, learning environment, difficulty in subject matters, and the existence of evaluation patterns. This finding further found that the learning environment and existing evaluation system are directly impacted by reducing the students’ enrollment, but other independent variables do not have an influence on the dependent variable, namely perception towards reduction of student enrolment in mathematics. Conclusion: The learning situation and actual judgment system are highly aff ected by reducing the students' enrollment at a higher level. These two independent variables should be managed by research to address the learners' interest and demand within a short time interval as an international system. Further study about the perceptions of teachers in pure mathematics and applied mathematics should be done separately to generalize and validate this finding.

“…Human capital schooling is the standardized practice for promoting this affiliation, considering the correlation of "labor market experience with earmark controls" as being consistent with their view that high earnings improve worker productivity due to the intensification of each subsequent schooling level [10]. However, individuals with higher education (HE) are comparatively associated with professional designations in the labor market [11].…”

Given the transitive challenges in the labor market, education can provide a sustainable developmental map for worldwide economic prosperity. Deep understanding of the dynamics of human capital, reflecting earnings aspirations in the labor market, indicates the need for policy makers to monitor and modify pedagogical curricula to meet the supply/demand of markets based on scientific evidence. In this study, we propose a methodology based on a household integrated economic survey (HIES) and, using different models, assess the impact of attained education and returns on the practical utility of skills within the context of a transitive labor market. We observe that effort levels are snowballing and rejection rates are declining for people with higher education (HE), whereas wage offers decline for people with low education (LE). Our results reveal significant differences in the supply/demand factors of both the public and private markets’ one-shot and continual affiliations. We conclude the impact of sheepskin effects and the implication of our findings.
