Educational attainment remains extremely important to reduce inequality. However, educational systems had expanded and diversified in all levels. Not only the quantity of education, but specially the quality of education has been increasingly important in order to reduce inequality. However, access to better schools in primary, secondary and tertiary levels of education tend to be associated to upper class backgrounds (higher parental income and educational levels) as well as to other ascriptive characteristics such as gender, race/ethnicity and class, while returns in the labor market tend to be higher for those coming from better schools. This section is specially interested in papers dealing with educational attainment and returns to education in the labor market taking into racial/ethnicity, class and gender indicators that can amplify processes of inequality.
