Chapter six focuses on the movement from initial training to the labour market. Degrees everywhere play a determining factor in gaining access to employment and income, with continuing studies for attaining higher educational levels invariably proving to be systematically profitable. Penalised in accessing employment, people with few or no degrees also have less access to continuing training, which is unevenly developed within the EU. The gender issue deserves particular attention: although they have lower educational attainment levels on average, males enjoy a systematically better position in the labour market and higher income. The impact of education is far from being limited to the labour market and income. In all European countries, for example, the risk of obesity for adults over 18 increases tangibly for those with few or low-level degrees.
