Research project Upper secondary education and labour market outcomes

The aim of the project is to evaluate how regional differences in the supply of upper secondary programs affected wages, employment and other labor market-related outcomes for individuals who attended upper secondary school during the 1970s and 1980s.

The analysis is based on so-called Difference-in-Differences analysis, which uses variation in local program supply over time and within local upper secondary school regions.
