According to credential inflation theory, the link between educational credentials and economic rewards weakens as educational opportunities spread in a society.

Key Points: 
  • According to credential inflation theory, the link between educational credentials and economic rewards weakens as educational opportunities spread in a society.
  • However, a recent study conducted by Lingnan University in Hong Kong (LU)and the University of Oxford in the UK proposes a new theory of "decredentialization" whereby degree holders lose their economic return only when they are unaccompanied by adequate cognitive skills.
  • Yet, as credential inflation theory argues, lower-level degree holders largely lose their rewards due to lower-level tertiary expansion.
  • This means, even though their scarcity declines, higher-level degree holders can retain their labour market outcomes insofar as possessing good cognitive skills.

HONG KONG, Sept. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Accommodation for young people in Hong Kong has long been at the top of the policy agenda. Recent research conducted by Lingnan University in Hong Kong (LU) and the City University of Hong Kong on the younger generation's housing opportunities finds that 26 per cent of parents who responded expect to subsidise their adult children when they buy a property. Findings also suggest reliance on the family is now increasingly frequent, and important to young adults who wish to live independently and have a choice.

Key Points: 
  • Recent research conducted by Lingnan University in Hong Kong (LU) and the City University of Hong Kong on the younger generation's housing opportunities finds that 26 per cent of parents who responded expect to subsidise their adult children when they buy a property.
  • This research explores plans and parents' attitudes towards providing financial and non-financial intergenerational housing support to adult children in Hong Kong.
  • Of the 1,012 parents surveyed, the majority (66%) said that they have no plans to provide financial housing support for their adult children in the next five years, but a quarter (26%) do intend to subsidise grown-up children.
  • The main three reasons given by parents without financial support plans are "family financial incapacity"(47%),"not parents' responsibility"(37%),and "children are financially capable of moving out without family help" (33%).
