| Preliminary scope of work |
| Overeducation represents a mismatch between the qualification necessary for a particular job and qualification actually acquired by an individual working on this position. This phenomenon demonstrates that returns to additional years of education can be questionable. Since the introduction of this concept by Richard Freeman in 1976, many researchers attempted to set diverse empirical measurements to the theoretical frameworks. As there is no unified theory, these researches lead to different outcomes.
In this thesis, we will try to evaluate the extent to which overeducation represents a real problem in Czech labor market. After a brief summary of knowledge about this phenomenon, empirical analysis will follow. Mainly we will focus on measurement of the extent of overeducation, then we will estimate its consequences in form of costs, using the data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC). |
