Abstract: This Paper Presents Evidence on the Monetary Returns, Gross an Net of Taxes, of University Schooling in Canada and on the Private and Social Costs of That Type of Schooling. These Returns Are Obtained by Computing the Future Earnings of Males From Quebec and Ontario Aged 18 in 1981 and Faced with the Choice of Either Attending University of Working. Our Results Show That University Schooling Has a Private Rate of Return of 9 to 16 % and a Public Rate of Return of 7 to 10 %.
