Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past several decades, many countries across the globe have experienced a large and often rapid expansion of higher education as they move into a process commonly known as massification. Broadly, the dynamics of both demographic change and contemporary globalization impacted by an apparent process of revived nationalism have led to wide-spread instances of higher education—over capacity coupled with rapidly changing patterns of employment.
This Special Issue follows a growing literature on higher education capacity and the changing dynamics of employment of higher education graduates.
The purpose of the Special Issue is to draw attention and analysis to both what is common among these dynamics across differing societies and economies and the critical emerging differences in both how these dynamics are presented and addressed at the policy level. The ultimate issue is which current policies are sustainable and which are not.
