Abstract: This paper reports labour market returns to education in Bangladesh using data from recent nationwide household survey. Returns are estimated separately for rural and urban samples, males, females and private-sector employees. Substantial heterogeneity in returns is observed; for example, estimates are higher for urban (than rural sample) and female samples (compared with their male counterparts). Our ordinary least square estimates of returns to education are robust to control for types of schools attended by individuals and selection into waged work.
