The primary objective of this study was to analyse the development of the effect of the bachelor’s and master’s tertiary degree on both respondents’ wage and socioeconomic status in the Czech labour market ten years after the Bologna Process. For the purposes of the study, structural modelling was applied using the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC, 2010–2017) and Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC, 2011/12) data. The results revealed that despite a slightly decreasing direct effect of the master’s degree on wages, the association between the master’s degree and socioeconomic status intensified. Compared to that, the bachelor’s degree exhibited a stable direct effect on wages but a decreasing effect on socioeconomic status. While relatively stable overall returns to tertiary education can be supposed based on total effects, the channels through which the stability is reached may differ for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

本研究的主要目的是分析博洛尼亚进程十年后捷克劳动力市场学士和硕士学位对受访者工资和社会经济地位的影响的发展情况。出于本研究的目的，使用欧盟收入和生活条件统计数据（EU-SILC，2010-2017）和国际成人能力评估计划（PIAAC，2011/12）数据进行结构建模。结果显示，尽管硕士学位对工资的直接影响略有下降，但硕士学位与社会经济地位之间的关联却增强了。相比之下，学士学位对工资的直接影响稳定，但对社会经济地位的影响却呈递减趋势。
