In our study, we have concluded that the theories to some extent could explain the decision to begin higher education and to find an employment afterwards. The phenomenon of overeducation appeared more in some groups and less in others. We have also concluded that there was no obvious discrimination between men and women, at least for the groups studied. Finally, we have come to the insight that there might be too many academics on the Swedish labor market. (Less)
