Reviews

With social mobility stalled, social inequalities growing and graduate underemployment emerging despite widened higher education, this is a timely book. It is a study that deserves to be replicated beyond the Low Countries with their tight coupling of higher education and jobs. -Chris Warhurst, University of Warwick, UK (Work, Employment and Society, Volume 28, Issue 4, pp. 669-670)
