Since the development of human capital
theory, countless estimates of the economic benefits of
investing in education for the individual have been
published. While it is a universal fact that in all
countries of the world the more education one has the higher
his or her earnings, it is nevertheless important to know
the empirical returns to schooling. However, simply knowing
average returns is not useful in a world of heterogeneity.
This paper finds increasing returns going from the lower to
the higher end of the earnings distribution, but with some
important differences across regions. The returns increase
by quantile for Latin America. The returns decrease by
quantile for most East Asian countries, producing an overall
equalizing effect. India and Pakistan demonstrate opposite
results. In Ghana, the returns across the distribution are
flat, while for Kenya and Tanzania education is dis-equalizing.
