Publication: Türk yükseköğretim sisteminde eğitimin getirileri : ampirik bir uygulama
Abstract
Bu araştırma üniversite düzeyinde çeşitli alanlarda yapılan sosyal ve bireysel eğitim yatırımlarının getiri oranlarını hesaplamayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma evrenini, belirlenmiş on beş yükseköğretim alanından mezun olup İstanbul'da özel sektörde ücretli olarak çalışan bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada maliyetlere ilişkin veriler YÖK tarafından 1997 yılında yapılan araştırma bulgularından, kazançlara ilişkin veriler ise araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen bir anket aracılığıyla özel sektörde çalışanlardan elde edilmiştir. Araştırmada sosyal ve bireysel getiriler kısa-yol yöntemi kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Bunun dışında maliyet-fayda analizinde kullanılan yöntemlerden biri olan fayda-maliyet oranı ile üniversite yatırımının sosyal ve bireysel açıdan verimliliği test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda şu bulgulara ulaşılmıştır: Tüm alanlarda sosyal getiri oranları % 5 ile % 14,8 arasında; bireysel getiriler ise % 12,3 ile % 18,5 arasında değişmektedir. Genel olarak üniversite eğitiminin sosyal getiri oranı % 8,9, fayda-maliyet oranı 11,93; bireysel getiri oranı % 16,6, fayda-maliyet oranı 15,17'dir. Araştırmada cinsiyetler açısından anlamlı bir farklılık görülmemiştir. Bu açıdan bireysel getiri oranı kadınlar için % 16,3, erkekler için % 16,6 bulunmuştur.
