Education and Income are directly proportional

Rajesh Shukla

The highest educational qualification by type of household provides a clear picture of the value accorded to education by Indian households. The higher the income of a household the more likely it is that there is at least one member who is a graduate or has higher educational qualifications, 61 percent of Rich households have at least one graduate in the households against 16 percent in the case of the Destitute. In stark contrast, an almost equal percentage (37 percent) of Destitute households has at least one member whose highest education is up to the primary level. The linkage between education and income is also very evident. As families rise the income ladder, educational levels also rise.
