INTEGRATED ANALYSIS & INSIGHTS : Income and Education

Methodology

• The table on the left shows the increase in income with every additional level of education, something that would not have been possible to do without multiple and questionable assumptions, had we not had all the data from the same respondent. This data pertains to the education level of the chief wage earner and the effect on the income of the household (though there are supplementary earners in some households).
• The numbers below of each step and the horizontal size of the step show the number of households whose chief wage earners are at each education level.

Insights from this data include

1. For policy makers include ramping up technical diploma type education in place of graduate education and re-looking at middle, matric and HS syllabus to have skill levels for jobs built into them more clearly to raise income levels more evenly.
