Income inequality exists in every society or country due to the differences in education, gender, race, region, and/or other factors. It may impact a society in several different areas, including the economy, education, crime, and health and life expectancy. Education is arguably one of the primary factors that cause income inequality. Recent studies show that the earnings gap between workers with a Bachelor’s or more advanced degree and workers with a high school diploma has been widening. And this widening of income inequality is said to negatively affect higher education. As those non-educated workers become poorer, they have difficulty sending their children to college. Some economists claim that if our society can produce more college-graduating workers, income inequality between educated workers and non-educated workers may be reduced. How can it be possible? How Does Income Inequality Affect the Economy?
