Does Greater Accessibility to Higher Education Reduce Wage Inequality? The Case of the Arab Minority in Israel
Yirmiyahu, Albert; Rubin, Ofir D.; Malul, Miki
Studies in Higher Education, v42 n6 p1071-1090 2017
Many studies assessing national policy reforms in education focus on the likelihood of acquiring an advanced education and the associated returns in the labor market. In this paper, the authors investigate the impact of the Israeli Academic Colleges Law that was designed to promote the acquisition of higher education among all segments of the Israeli population. They found that this law, in fact, contributed to making higher education accessible more to the Israeli Arab minority than to the rest of the population. In addition, they demonstrate that the influence of the law on improving access to higher education is reflected in the increase in the earning potential of Israeli Arabs.
