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



registration in AE is a predictor of the amount of tertiary education. The third
issue is to analyse annual wage earnings in 2002 of individuals with and with-
out prior AE, conditioning for the number of years of university studies.

Table 4 presents frequencies of individuals, across educational levels re-
ported in SUN1990, that at some stage before 2001 were registered in higher
education. Post-secondary education includes four-year upper secondary school
in technical education. Of those with less than three years at upper secondary
level, about one fourth, or approximately 3,500 individuals, never attended
komvux. These may appear as ineligible for higher education but komvux was
only one of many paths gaining eligibility.

8 Wage earnings are only interesting if individuals have completed their university education. Re-
cords of registration at komvux are available until 2001 and for higher education until 2002. This
is why individuals are followed a year longer here than in the preceding section.

9 For drop-outs from upper secondary school, it was possible to complete a diploma later either
through reattending their old school, through Labour Market Training, through a National School
for Adults (
Statens skolor for vuxna), which is based on self-instruction, through a specialized
course program (
gymnasieskolans specialkurser), primarily for pupils with problems in school,
or through a foreign upper secondary education.
