Abstract | Using data from a Household Income and Expenditure Survey and data collected by the author, this paper presents up-to-date private rates of return to education in Botswana. ... The major results are: 1) rates of return rise by level of education; 2) the empirical fitness of the human capital model is quite robust; 3) education is not income equalising; 4) women are paid less than men despite being on average more highly educated than men. The policy implications are: there is room for private financing at the upper secondary and tertiary levels of education; employment creation has to be pursued vigorously, there is a need to address the equity and gender issues.
