Abstract	In the last 30 years the level of education has increased generally in all European countries. This mainly involves the prolongation of the duration of training for young people. All countries have made considerable efforts to improve their educational policy. The declared goal was, more or less implicitly, to contribute to economic development and to enable the workforce to keep pace with rapid technological progress in order to be better positioned to tackle the new conditions of national and international competition. Against the backdrop of improving competitive positions, the struggle against unemployment, particularly amongst young people, is often presented as the ultimate justification for these policies. This study was co- produced by CEDEFOP and a European research network. Its central subject is the macroeconomic or macro-social analysis of the consequences of investments in education on the job market and on the distribution of the workforce in the production system. It gives some answers to a very large question: how is the increasing number of people with qualifications being distributed over the production infrastructure? The question could also be asked the other way round: how does a labour system undergoing constant change absorb higher and higher numbers of increasingly trained people? (DIPF/orig.).
