Education and Pay
Education is key to increased economic equality. To get workers’ paychecks up, they have to possess better skills, yet many societies are not doing enough to improve schools and teachers and bolster job training. Enhancing access to good education isn’t just a matter of more money, however, but also how we spend that money. In a recent report, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recommended boosting investment in the early years of education, like preschool, since that improves a child’s academic performance over his or her entire career.
