Resumo(s)
This paper examines the evolution of the returns to education in Portugal over the
1980s and early 1990s. The main ®ndings indicate that the returns to education have
increased, particularly after joining the European Union in 1986. Since this occurred
along with an increase in the level of education within the labour force, the process is
most likely demand driven. The results also indicate that modelling on average (i.e. OLS) misses important features of the wage structure. Quantile regression (QR)
analysis reveals that the eŒect of education is not constant across the conditional
wage distribution. They are higher for those at higher quantiles in the conditional
wage distribution. Wage inequality expanded in Portugal over the 1980s and the
returns to education had an important role in this process.
