Falling Short: Why Isn't the U.S. Producing More College graduates?
Abstract: Why is the United States not producing more college graduates, especially in light of the large and persistent wage gap between workers who graduate from college and those who do not? Senior policy economist Urvi Neelakantan and economics writer Jessie Romero consider several factors that may help answer the question, including inadequate preparation during students' K-12 years. They discuss how K-12 preparation varies with socioeconomic status and how \\"school-choice\\" initiatives are intended to give more children access to high-quality schools.
