?:abstract
  • The importance of higher education among the resident Singapore workforce has been increasing. Yet there are few studies that have considered the coevolution of higher education attainment in the workforce and the utilisation of graduate skills. To do so, we have drawn on the conceptual distinction between graduate jobs and non-graduate jobs. However, we have also explicitly recognised that there is considerable variation among graduate jobs. We distinguish further between 'task-warranted' and 'task-unwarranted' graduate jobs. In both types a degree is required to obtain these jobs, but in the former, task-warranted graduate jobs the job involves carrying out typical graduate-level tasks; while the latter require only low levels of graduate-level tasks. In task-unwarranted graduate jobs, employers still require a degree because it helps sort applicants for their hard-to-observe skills - the logic that lies behind signalling and credentialism. To operationalise the distinction, and to analyse the Singapore graduate labour market, we use data on task use in two surveys, one in 2013 the other in 2017. (xsd:string)
