More educated people live longer: OECD study
Across advanced economies, the more educated live longer, according to a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The study said a 25-year-old man with a university education is expected to live 7.5 years longer, on average, than his low-educated counterpart. The study adds that the gap between life expectancy and education decreases as the population ages.
