abstract: 'Young people have to be provided with opportunities to access
|
|
|
|
prosperous, resilient and fulfilling lives. Investing in education and
|
|
|
|
skills is considered one of the most important ways to support young
|
|
|
|
people''s well-being and to enable them to enjoy good career prospects.
|
|
|
|
Using the framework of human capital theory, we explored the role of
|
|
|
|
education among the factors explaining wage variation among Romanian
|
|
|
|
youth. We built our analysis on micro-data for Romania from the EU
|
|
|
|
Statistics on Income and Living Conditions 2020. In order to identify
|
|
|
|
the most important factors influencing the wage distribution, we
|
|
|
|
employed the elastic net regression approach. Moreover, we considered
|
|
|
|
the phenomenon of expansion of education and ran the analysis by
|
|
|
|
alternately using a traditional measure for education and a relative
|
|
|
|
measure reflecting the theory of education as positional good. We ran
|
|
|
|
the analysis for different cohorts of the population, focusing the
|
|
|
|
discussion on the results for young people. Our findings confirm the
|
|
|
|
importance of education for wage distribution together with other
|
|
|
|
factors of influence, such as gender, degree of urbanization, region,
|
|
|
|
sector of employment and working experience. Our conclusions are
|
|
|
|
relevant for designing more effective educational and social policies to
|
|
|
|
deal with various disadvantages faced by youth in Romania.'
