Abstract	This paper provides estimates of the return to education in wage employment in India by gender, age cohort and location (rural - urban) for the period 1993/94, and also evaluates the changes in returns over a period from 1983-94 using data from a large national level household survey. The estimates show that the returns to education increase up to the secondary level and decline thereafter. There is evidence of substantial gender and rural - urban differences in the returns to schooling. Investment im women's education, particularly at the middle, lower secondary and higher secondary levels, is more profitable than that for men in 1983 and also in 1993/94. The returns to women's primary and middle levels of education have declined while those to secondary and college levels have increased during the decade 1983-94. (DIPF/Orig.)
