Urban areas prize education in both absolute and relative terms<br />

compared to rural areas. In all quintiles and for both surveys, rural shares<br />

are lower than urban shares. <strong>The</strong> richest urban quintile currently spends<br />

about 15% of the household budget on education. Over time, most quintiles<br />

currently spend about twice the budget share amount spent on education in<br />

1990/1991.<br />

In Chapter 4, higher education levels were associated statistically with<br />

higher wages. For any former or present student, the education level<br />

attained can be placed in the context of household earnings as well. Consider<br />

samples of individuals who have attained discrete education levels, and<br />

correlate this schooling with per capita household expenditures and incomes.<br />

<strong>The</strong> table below indicates that higher levels of education attainment provide<br />

ever greater benefits for household me<strong>mb</strong>ers (measures are in £E, and<br />

standard deviations in parentheses):
