Abstract
The article offers an overview on the development of theoretical work and empirical insight on the relationship between higher education and the labor market in times of educational expansion. Structural-quantitative aspects of supply and demand as well as qualitative aspects of competencies and skills are addressed. Further attention is given to insights into the institutional embeddedness of higher education and the labor market in cross-national comparative perspectives and their change and stability over time. Comparison is made between the utility and limitations of different models explaining the ongoing adaptation between higher education and the labor market by providing international examples of empirical research.
