Summary:

Successive UK governments’ policies to expand higher education are producing increasing numbers of graduates. However, many jobs taken by graduates can also be filled by non-graduates. This means that for a young person the choice of going to university presents an increased financial risk in terms of acquiring a higher-paid job.
