Educational Expansion and the Kuznets Effect
利用坦桑尼亚和肯尼亚的工资调查数据，分析教育扩张如何通过改变劳动力教育构成和压缩工资结构来影响工资差距。
The objective in this note is to show the change in wage dispersion in response to increases in the relative supply of educated workers in two low-income countries. We also measure the relative contributions to that change of its two components: the effect of the educational expansion on the educational composition of the labor force (holding the educational structure of wages constant), and the resultant compression of that structure (holding composition constant). The paper's analysis is based on three precisely comparable surveys of wage employees conducted in Tanzania in 1971 and 1980, and in Kenya in 1980.
