Abstract

I analyze the long-term labor market returns after completing a higher education entrance (HEE) qualification as a qualified worker older than age 20 (Zweiter Bildungsweg), using data of the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). I use a Mincer-type equation, where the school-leaving and vocational qualification is modeled in detail together with the age of completing a subject-linked or general HEE qualification. There is evidence that HEE graduation up to the age 25 opens good chances to obtain the same long-term labor market returns as regular high school graduation. If HEE graduating occurs after the age 25, wage advantages - compared to a middle-level school graduation - are not reached on average any more. The results show a positive relation to employment at best for men, who complete their general HEE qualification from the age 26 to 30. Besides, 'second pathway' graduates use indirect labor market advantages of higher education less than regular high school graduates. These results are important for educational counselling, because the pathways to a HEE qualification as well as the age at graduation count for the chances in the labor market.
