Gilboa, Yaakov – Journal of Education and Work, 2023
Much research has been made in recent years on the effect of over and under education on earnings.

This review of child poverty in rich countries finds that the proportion of children living in poverty in the developed world has risen in 17 out of the 24 OECD nations for which data are available. No matter which of the commonly-used poverty measures is applied, the situation of children is seen to have deteriorated over the last decade. UNICEF…
