Summary/Abstract: The paper contains the analysis of the changing wage premium from higher education in Poland over the period of 1995–2009 in the context of changes in the educational structure of population and the general situation in the labour market. The authors have estimated relative wages of persons with higher education and the wage premium from higher education by broad occupational groups and property sections of the employer using the Heckmann selection method and EAS survey data. The results show a significant decrease in the size of the wage premium attributable to higher education during the last few years, particularily among technicians and clerks. This may be the result of an excessive supply of persons with college and university education in some segments of the Polish labour market. This is the first study showing the evolution of the wage premium from higher education in Poland on a multi-year sample.
