Abstract

For a long time, the expansion of higher education (HE) was accompanied by moderate enthusiasm, which eventually was transformed into disappointment due to the questionable quality of education and limited access of graduates to high positions in the labour market. Despite the prosperity and dynamic economic development, the public discourse increasingly emphasizes arguments questioning the social and economic contribution of HE expansion. This chapter aims to examine the situation of graduates in the labour market, taking into account type of higher education institutions, the mode of study (bachelor, master and united master) and also the field of study. It presents major dimensions and the scale of the diversity in the labour market situation of graduates based on data on earnings, employment conditions and the form of unemployment. In order to do so, it uses data obtained by the Polish Graduate Tracking System, which is a public tool unique to Europe for monitoring the situation of HE graduates in the labour market.
