Book excerpt: This paper looks at the inequities in higher education and their consequences in the labour market for people with higher education. The inequalities in the type and source of human capital acquired are often overlooked, and it is argued here that they perpetuate inequalities observed in the labour market. Inequities in acquired human capital eventually influence educational attainment, which in turn influences labour market prospects. This is reflected in the selection or sifting of the potential employees in the labour market. Those with longer years of schooling have better prospects in the labour market.
