economically active population, students over 40, non-governmental sector, qualification ecosystem, resultoriented budgeting.Abstract
This article assesses the impact of the number of students aged 40 and older on the economically active
population. Fixed-effects models revealed the negative impact of this indicator. While the negative impact of university
graduates on non-state sector employment was identified, it was found that the general student body has a positive
impact. The article also proposes results-oriented budgeting criteria based on the skills and abilities ecosystem.
