Killeen, John; Turton, Richard; Diamond, Wayne; Dosnon, Odile; Wach, Monique
Journal of Education Policy, v14 n2 p99-116 Mar-Apr 1999
Explores subjective aspects of human-capital investment decisions in education. Explores connections that 11th- and 13th-year British students perceive between their education and the labor market, and between qualifications mechanisms and life chances. Most students believe education plays a market-signaling role and a marginal role in raising productivity. Contains 39 references. (MLH)
