利用1996-2002年劳动力调查数据，分析学术和职业资格回报随时间、生命周期及最高学历的变化，帮助理解不同资格的经济价值。
Abstract This paper uses data from the Labour Force Survey over the period 1996–2002 to investigate the returns to a detailed list of academic and vocational qualifications. In particular, the analysis focuses on how these returns have varied over the time period considered, how the returns vary over an individual's lifetime using a pseudo cohort analysis, and how the returns vary according to the highest level of qualification obtained at school.
