Horizontal Educational Mismatch among Indonesian Graduates: Is There Any Earnings Penalty?
Dani Rahman Hakim1; Disman Disman2; Dadang Dahlan2
Education Economics, v33 n5 p747-774 2025
This study examines the determinants and earnings effects of horizontal educational mismatch (HEM) among Indonesian graduates. We found that almost half of Indonesian workers mismatched their field of study. The earnings effect of this mismatch varies in each field of study group. We found an earnings premium for ISCED Code 01, 02, 05, 08, and 09 HEM workers. In contrast, HEM workers in ISCED Code 04, 06, 07, and 10 fields of study suffered an earnings penalty. Mere HEM workers in the ISCED Code 06 and 10 groups earn more than workers with undereducated or overeducated horizontal mismatch.
