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.
