  1. Robust clustered standard errors in parentheses
  2. Columns 1–2 show the association of the age when the highest degree was obtained with log earning and with employment probability, respectively for those who finished at most ISCED 2 level. Columns 3–4 and 5–6 show the 2SLS estimations of log real earning and employment probability with the treatment used as an instrument for the age when they finished the ISCED 2 level
