The latest NERI Report Series paper no. 19 was written by NERI economist, Ciarán Nugent.
Using Labour Force Survey data, NERI’s latest report presents the evidence of trends in the share of tertiary graduates among the adult population, the working population, by gender and for younger people as well as the occupational breakdown of Irish employment broken down by the same groups. The analysis then identifies trends in overqualification among younger working third level graduates, by gender, by economic activity or sector (NACE), by field of Education and by Nationality.
