Adults obtaining upper secondary vocational qualifications

Nyhet_Arbeidsliv og arbeidsmarked | 31 August 2016

A large number of adults obtain upper secondary vocational qualifications in Norway. The experience based trade certificate (praksiskandidatordningen) is the most common path to such qualifications. In this study made in collaboration with the Frisch Centre, researchers Bernt Bratsberg, Torgeir Nyen (pictured) and Oddbjørn Raaum show that these certificates tend to reduce educational inequality as the family backgrounds of the adults are very similar to those who don’t obtain any upper secondary qualification at a younger age.
