Education and wage inequality in europe

Objective

The dominant view leading European governments and EU policies is that educational expansion is an important policy tool when trying to reverse or slow down the rise in inequality observed in a growing number of European countries. At the same time, emerging evidence reveals that aggregate wage inequality is due not only to differences between educational groups but arises from differences within these groups as well. The overarching objective is to understand the relationship between education and wage inequality. It will explore the structure and change in wage inequality within and across European countries, using comparable data and will seek to explain the observed patterns and trends within and between cohorts in terms of the interplay between educational expansion and wage inequalities and educational systems and labor market institutions The research will be focused to derive the practical implications for economic and social policy.
