The economic return to pr<strong>of</strong>essional qualifications<br />

Figure 11 illustrates <strong>the</strong> benefits to men and women separately. The benefits<br />

to both are substantial, with a man estimated to benefit by £171,000 (in<br />

today‘s money terms) from obtaining both pr<strong>of</strong>essional qualifications and<br />

membership <strong>of</strong> a pr<strong>of</strong>essional institute. The corresponding figure for women<br />

is nearly £136,000.<br />

Figure 11: Lifetime benefits associated with different qualification levels<br />

Qualifications are indicative <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> level within <strong>the</strong> NQF (i.e. A-level represents all level 3 qualifications).<br />

All individuals with qualifications are assumed to hold level 2 qualifications. For illustration purposes,<br />

qualifications are cumulative – that is an individual with membership <strong>of</strong> a pr<strong>of</strong>essional institute is<br />

assumed to hold qualifications at GCSE-level, A-level, degree-level and pr<strong>of</strong>essional qualifications.<br />
