The Incidence and Costs of Education-Occupation Mismatches in Canada: Evidence from Census Data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The incidence of educational mismatch and the costs resulting thereof, are examined from theperspective of gender and nativity status, using Canadian census data. Mismatches arise whenindividuals are “over-educated” or “under-educated” relative to the normal levels of educationin their occupation of employment. We first estimate a multinomial logit to assess thelikelihood of educational mismatch, and examine the role gender, nativity status and, forforeign-born, language ability and length of residence in Canada, play in this regard. We thenestimate earnings functions, generalized to model educational mismatches, to estimate thecosts resulting from such mismatches, and to examine whether those costs vary across new andestablished foreign-born, and what role gender plays in this regard; also examined is thequestion of whether that penalty for foreign-born converges towards the same level as that ofnative-born, as the length of residence in Canada increases.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
