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-

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).
Table 2 Successive selection criteria and remaining sample sizes. See text for
