The Pool of Ability (1963)

Richard Layard

Chapter 18 in Tackling Inequality, 1999, pp 354-367 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The crucial question is whether, within the next twenty years, the growth in the output of qualified school leavers is likely to be limited by a scarcity of inherited potential ability. This raises the fundamental issue of whether the pool of ability, as it is usually called, can be measured and, if so, how.
