Is Higher Education a Solution to Income Inequality?

Brown, Jim (journalist). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Added Author). Journalist: Brown, Jim. (Cast).

Summary: What if higher education isn't the way out of income inequality? Education has long been seen as the great equalizer to help narrow the gap between the haves and have nots. It's a widespread belief espoused by teachers, employers and politicians the world over. But a new study by two Canadian economists has turned that consensus on its head. They say not only is more education not the solution to inequality, it may actually be making the problem worse.
