abstract: 'Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the hypothesis that
those with a university qualification in science and technology (S\&T)
enjoy favourable labour market outcomes.
Design/methodology/approach - Analysis is based on individual-level data
detailing the labour market experiences of Irish university graduates
upon entering employment. A Gini-Hirschman index is used to estimate the
number of occupational options open to graduates of a particular
educational background. Additionally, an ordered probit model of
earnings is estimated, which is controlling other factors, measures the
effect of S\&T education on the distribution of earnings.
Findings - S\&T graduates have a wider occupational domain.
Additionally, tabulations indicate that on the whole they tend to earn
more. Application of an ordered probit model controlling for other
factors suggests that engineering graduates enjoy a clear earnings
advantage; however the opposite appears to be the case for science
graduates.
Originality/value - The paper presents original insights into the
occupational outcomes of Irish technical graduates. The relatively lower
earnings of science graduates bring into question the current
preoccupation with the supply side and suggest that a closer look at the
demand for such skills may be warranted. These findings may be
interesting for policy seeking to influence skill structure and for
further studies investigating the returns to components of skill.'
