DESCRIPTION:While a large body of literature has established the trend and
  inequalities in the average earnings premium for a degree\, there is a de
 arth of evidence on the trend and inequalities in a broader aspect of grad
 uates’ labour outcomes\, or job quality. The lack of evidence on the tre
 nd and inequalities in the ‘job quality premium’ for different groups 
 is problematic because it has a direct impact on the amount of resource de
 voted to addressing unequal labour market outcomes in a broader aspect tha
 n earnings alone. This study highlights the need for allocating more resou
 rces to wider dimensions of the labour market and graduates’ outcomes\, 
 besides earnings\, to improve the overall quality of employment and reduce
  unequal labour market outcomes. In this study we draw on the Korean Worki
 ng Conditions Survey (KWCS) and find that five job quality domains\, namel
 y Prospects\, Skills and Discretion\, Work Intensity\, Social Environment\
 , and Physical Environment\, worsened between 2006 and 2020\, with job pro
 spects being worsened most rapidly. Despite the overall worsening trends o
 f job quality\, university graduates enjoy better job quality in all domai
 ns but work intensity than non-graduates\, implying university provides wi
 der benefits for graduates besides the earnings premium. In most domains h
 owever\, such job quality premium has decreased\, which seems to be releva
 nt to the over-supply of highly skilled workers\, or graduates\, in the la
 bour market.\nSpeakers:\nSangwoo Lee (University of Warwick)
