‘Through a diverse set of country studies, this impressive book demonstrates the complexity of graduate employability in high-participation systems of higher education. While the stratification of outcomes among graduates is a common finding across diverse national cases, the scale and texture of the problem is nuanced and country specific. This expertly researched book is essential reading for anyone interested in the role of higher education in the economy and will be of great interest to both academics and policymakers.’
