In the third of this series on graduate outcomes, Universities UK has analysed a range of data sources looking at employment of graduates, to show the impact of graduate skills across the country, how patterns differ across regions and industries, and comparisons to non-graduates and wider employees. This analysis focuses on: (1) Evidence for the link between higher education skills and productivity in the UK economy; (2) Patterns in graduate contributions to economic growth and productivity; and (3) Future implications for economic growth of the UK economy.
