Education a Glace 2012 (OECD)

Education at a Glace 2012 published by OECD (09/2012), indicated by Lucas Teixeira. “For some time now, the global education and economic landscapes have been in a state of rapid transformation, spurred in significant part by two key changes. The first is the continued ascent of the knowledge economy…The second phenomenon – which is closely related to the first – is the explosive growth of higher education worldwide…Education at a Glace 2012 examines these landscapes in light of another important change: the global recession in 2009 and 2010. Our analysis finds that no group or country – no matter how well-educated – is totally immune from the effects of a worldwide economic downturn. At the same time, it also shows the remarkable resilience of the economic and labour market benefits of having a higher level of education – even in the face of dire fiscal conditions.”
