Duncan Thomas, Robert Schoeni and John Strauss

Working Papers from RAND - Labor and Population Program

Abstract: There have been dramatic increases in educational attainment in Brazil over the last half-century. These increases have been especially rapid for women who are, today, better educated than men. The importance of the education and income of mothers and fathers in explaining this growth is explored.
