Education increases a country's economic growth.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that education increases a country's economic growth?

Partly. Several sources assert or find that education contributes to economic growth, including a survey estimating a one-year increase in average education raises output per capita by three to six percent. However, a sociology encyclopedia reports nonlinear and even null relationships in high-income countries, and the survey notes the literature is divided on whether education affects the level or growth rate of GDP.
