Abstract:
It is widely accepted that education investment plays an important role in economic
development in many countries. However, little evidence exists between returns to
conventional education (CE) and non-conventional education (NCE). CE comprises
full-time education program while NCE comprises part-time, distance learning and
executive's educational program. The main objective of this study is to estimate the
returns to investment for CE and NCE graduates according to gender and
occupational sectors.
