| description | Yamauchi and Nishiyama are interested in the relationship between local inequality and the quality of human capital investment and growth. In this paper, they examine the impact of unequal income distribution on the ability of a community to finance local schools in South Africa. To this end, they conduct two analyses, one empirical and the other based on simulations...

Policy interventions are needed to stop this vicious cycle. Government subsidies must be increased to those communities that are trapped in a situation where they cannot collect sufficient school fees to maintain an adequate education system. |
