The Department for Employment and Learning has published two new research papers, which investigate the link between qualifications and their impact on wages and productivity:
- The impact of educational attainment and Literacy Scores on Economic Growth and Productivity (Oxford Economics).
- The influence of graduate qualifications on average wages and productivity across the UK (Oxford Economics).
These papers are part of the Department’s Research Agenda 2004-07, and examine differences at a local, regional and national level.
