Abstract

Polish higher education has gone through three decades of spontaneous changes and governmental reforms. However, after this transformation—driven by skyrocketing aspiration and facilitated by the growth of new institutions, modes of studies, and programs—graduates are still regarded as a fairly homogeneous group despite their diversity. A more nuanced view on how this expansion has affected the labor market outcomes of an increasingly diverse population in a high-participation system is imperative, as is a review of related policies.
