Does adult education at upper secondary level influence annual wage earnings?



4.1 Individuals with no enrolment in higher
education

This section focuses on individuals that until 2002 were not enrolled in higher
education. A set of conditions, to be presented shortly, further adjusts the sam-
ple to make it adequate for the regression analysis in the empirical section. The
statistics presented in the following concern this restricted sample and primar-
ily involve the credits attained at komvux along with annual earnings of groups
with and without AE registration (further descriptive statistics are available
from the author on request).
