Solution

It is believed that education level reduces global inequality. Education imparts the knowledge and technical skills which enhance the productivity of people. An educated person possesses higher productivity and efficiency and hence, a relatively higher income earning capacity. The higher income earning capacity and greater acceptability of modern techniques with rise in average education level across the world has raised the living standards and quality of life in the underdeveloped nations.

Distribution of income has become less skewed and income disparity between the rich and the poor is reducing across the world with better earning opportunities available due to the rise in education levels. Governments of different countries have been investing heavily in the education sector as rise in average education levels not only reduce inequality but also address other problems like poverty, unemployment, and underutilisation of resources.
