Correct Answer: The increase in wages associated with higher education levels


Solution : The correct answer is (b) The increase in wages associated with higher education levels.

The rate of return on education measures the economic benefits or financial gains that individuals can expect to receive as a result of investing in education. It focuses on the relationship between the level of education attained and the subsequent increase in earning potential.

Higher levels of education are generally associated with higher wages and greater employment opportunities. By acquiring additional skills, knowledge, and qualifications through education, individuals enhance their human capital, making them more productive and valuable in the labor market. As a result, they tend to earn higher wages compared to individuals with lower levels of education.
