摘要：Education has been at the centre of anti-poverty and pro-growth policies both in the developing world as well as in wealthier countries. It is seen as a key to development and to the ability of a country to keep up with the fast moving technological change 1 . The recent increase in the returns to education in the US2 and the UK3 has reinforced this view. Education is also seen as a way for individuals to escape poverty and welfare (and possibly crime) dependency and this perception has motivated numerous policies worldwide that promote education as a long run solution to these problems.
