The rate of return to education is the sum of discounted benefits and costs. It shows the relatively profitable sector for a secure investment. The main objective of this study is to review and analyze the volume of the rate of return to education. The literature review, survey design was used, and the materials were collected using purposive sampling. The analysis concludes that the rate of return on education can be analyzed based on the additional year of schooling, sex, levels of education, occupations, geographical regions, countries, and sectors. Different studies conducted in different countries reveal that the size of the rate of return differs according to the categories mentioned above. It means that overall returns to education seem highly heterogeneous. Likewise, most studies show that the private rate of returns for females is higher than that of males; the tertiary level's returns are higher than the other levels, and the urban sector's returns are higher than that of the rural sector.

“…The main argument of human capital theory is that better educated people are generally more skilled and are expected to be more productive than people with lower levels of education, thus skilled workers will earn more (Joseph 2020;Wang et al 2019). That is why the quantity of years of study is used as one of the key factors determining the level of earnings of employees (Rizk 2019). Even though the empirical literature has been dominantly presented with the interpretation within human capital theory, the alternative literature asserts that education may have effect over wages not because of productivity of worker, but for other reasons.…”

Household demand for private tutoring in Tunisia

This article is devoted to an analysis of household demand for private tutoring in Tunisia. The data come from the National Household Budget, Consumption and Standard of Living Survey. Logistic regression models are used to determine the association between family socio-economic conditions and the decision to use private tutoring. The results show that the demand for private tutoring is positively linked to a family's patrimony and its financial capacity. The negative coefficient of the dwelling factor may seem strange given that households which own their dwelling can be considered wealthy people, but this is not the case in Tunisia. Family size is positively and significantly correlated with private tutoring. This can be explained by the particularity of the Tunisian context. Location is an important factor, and households in coastal areas are more motivated for private lessons.
