Things we know and don't know about the wider benefits of higher education: a review of the recent literature

John Brennan Niccolò Durazzi Tanguy Séné

This literature review looks at the evidence on the wider non-economic benefits of higher education for students. It also looks at the impact, through graduates and knowledge transfer, on society as a whole. The evidence shows that higher levels of education are linked to a range of positive social, well-being and cultural benefits for the individual, their families and society. The review recommends further research to better understand how the impact of higher education occurs. This study was commissioned through LSE Consulting, a trademark of LSE Enterprise, the subsidiary of the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Higher education and work

Highlights from education at a glance (2014)

John Brennan Maurice Kogan Ulrich Teichler

Exploring the relationship between higher education and the world of work is highly significant in the assessment of the structure of higher education institutions and has wide-ranging implications for the future shape of their curricula. This volume examines this relationship through the contributions of leading European scholars. It offers an international perspective on: the changing nature of employment and the labour market; the increasing diversification of higher education institutions, curricula and clients; the interconnections between changes in the labour market and changes in higher education and the policy frameworks and strategies through which governments may seek to steer these relationships. Case studies investigate specific themes, such as the experiences of graduates within the labour market; the effects of an academic culture on policy implementation and aspects of the relationship between higher education and work in different countries. The book considers the extent to which recent developments in this relationship are country-specific, or whether universal trends can be discerned.
