Mismatch in the Spanish Labor Market: Overeducation?
利用西班牙劳动力调查数据，通过比较工人实际受教育水平与工作所需教育水平，分析过度教育现象，发现过度教育者经验少、培训少、离职率高，且匹配度随年龄和职业流动改善。
The objective of this article is to explain the job match, which is assessed by comparing attained education and job-required education as reported by workers. We frame our empirical work according to the occupational mobility theory. Using a cross-section of workers from a representative survey of the Spanish labor force, we consider overeducated workers to be those who report that the level of education their jobs require is below the level of education they have attained. Our results indicate that overeducated workers have less experience, decreased on-thejob training and higher turnover than other comparable workers. We also observe an improvement in the job match over age and mobility.
