| Summary: | This paper presents new estimates of the
returns to education in the Russian Federation. Private
returns to education are three times greater for higher
education compared to vocational education, and the returns
to education for females are higher than for males. Returns
for females show an inverse U-shaped curve over the past two
decades. Female education is a policy priority and there is
a need to investigate the labor market relevance of
vocational education. Higher education may have reached an
expansion limit and it may be necessary to investigate
options for increasing the productivity of schooling. |
