Education in times of economic uncertainty In the current economic environment…
…Continued strong demand for education – Poor labour markets and low opportunity costs for education
… Substantial public and private gains from education– Earnings premium for tertiary education remains large and
continues to grow- Public long-term gains from higher education are almost
three times the size of the investments
…High-level skills key to competitiveness… Comparative cost advantage across OECD countries
varies with educational levels
…Labour-market entry becomes more difficult– Particularly for young lower educated individuals
…Education a good insurance against unemployment and to stay employed especially in weak labour markets
Educational attainment likely to rise further Continuing education increasingly important.

Unabated educational expansion
University graduation nearly doubled from an OECD average of 20% in 1995 to 38% in 2009
Pace of change varied widely– The Slovak Republic improved its relative standing
from Rank 15 to Rank 1– USA dropped from Rank 2 to Rank 14 (UK dropped
from 2 in 2000 to 5)
Upper secondary is the norm among younger people
Significant expansion of early childhood education
Enrolment of 3-4-year-olds up from an average of 40% in 1998 to 70% in 2009

studies due to tuition fees and still a high level of student aid.
Group 2:Potentially high financial
barriers for entry to tertiary-type A
education, but also large public subsidies to
students.
Group 3:Extensive and broadly uniform cost sharing
across students, student support systems somewhat less
developed.
Group 4:Relatively low financial
barriers to entry to tertiary education and relatively low subsidies
