Education and the Distribution of Income in South Africa.

Marais, M. A.

Education Economics, v2 n3 p265-76 1994

Provides empirical evidence concerning the education/earnings distribution relationship in South Africa. Investment in education is directly related to earnings across racial groups. An increase in the average education level is associated with a narrower dispersion of earnings. A more equal education distribution is associated with a more equal earnings distribution.
