“…The returns found in this study are more than twice the size of those reported for Swedish adults who enrolled AE at the upper secondary level (Stenberg et al 2014, Stenberg 2011. The pattern in results is consistent with the job-polarization hypothesis, which states that earnings returns to different skill levels follow a U-shaped pattern.…”

“…Stenberg and Westerlund (2008) find a payoff of between 15 and 20 percent for the long-term unemployed, but the size of the effect was inflated by the low average earnings of the sample. For a broadly defined sample, aged 24-43 at the time of first registration in AE, Stenberg (2011) reported a 2.3 and 5.1 percent payoff on annual earnings of one year of completed studies for males and females, respectively. Calculations indicate that the benefits just about cover the total costs to society.…”

“…First, the samples studied are restricted by two pre-treatment conditions as all individuals in our samples are eligible for tertiary level schooling, and that no-one has been registered in education in 15 years prior to 1992. Second, treatment is defined as enrolment, which means treated include all 2 In Sweden, both policy debate and research have been focused on low-skilled individuals for whom municipalities are by law obligated to offer adult education (Albrecht et al 2009, Stenberg 2011.

“…Earlier studies of adults aged 40 or above in formal education have generally found positive effects on earnings when enrolling community college in the US (Jacobson et al 2005a, b) or upper secondary education in Sweden (Stenberg andWesterlund 2008, Stenberg et al 2011). Regarding the timing of retirement, reported no effects of upper secondary schooling completed at age 42 or higher.…”

To our knowledge, this paper provides the first study evaluating the effects of higher education for adults on the timing of retirement. Using detailed longitudinal population register data 1982-2010, we track first-time enrollees in higher education in 1992-1993. Our sample is aged 42-55 at the time of enrollment and thus aged 60-73 in 2010. We find that higher education increases labor market survival rates when aged 61-66 by about 5 percentage points. The estimates represent relatively large effects. Tentative calculations indicate that if enrollment occurs at age 42, the retirement delay represents about one percent in yearly earnings returns per year of tertiary education.

IFAU's objective is to promote, support and carry out scientific evaluations. The assignment includes: the effects of labour market and educational policies, studies of the functioning of the labour market and the labour market effects of social insurance policies. IFAU shall also disseminate its results so that they become accessible to different interested parties in Sweden and abroad.IFAU also provides funding for research projects within its areas of interest. The deadline for applications is October 1 each year. Since the researchers at IFAU are mainly economists, researchers from other disciplines are encouraged to apply for funding.IFAU is run by a Director-General. The institute has a scientific council, consisting of a chairman, the Director-General and five other members. Among other things, the scientific council proposes a decision for the allocation of research grants. A reference group including representatives for employer organizations and trade unions, as well as the ministries and authorities concerned is also connected to the institute. Papers published in the Working Paper Series should, according to the IFAU policy, have been discussed at seminars held at IFAU and at least one other academic forum, and have been read by one external and one internal referee. They need not, however, have undergone the standard scrutiny for publication in a scientific journal. The purpose of the Working Paper Series is to provide a factual basis for public policy and the public policy discussion. AbstractThe scope of public human resource policy is outlined. Motivation for the need of transparency in this policy is provided in terms of informational asymmetries, human capital externalities, and long planning horizo...
