Earnings, Rates of Return to Education and the Earnings Distribution in Pakistan.

Guisinger, Stephen E.; And Others

Economics of Education Review, v3 n4 p257-67 1984

Examination of earnings and education data for a sample of approximately 1,600 workers in Pakistan reveals that the rate of return in earnings to schooling is low. The low rate of return appears to be a result of a conscious government policy that drastically compressed the skill-wage structure. (Author/MLF)
