HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS RESEARCH SUMMARY:

In this article, economist Pierre Fortin (Université du Québec à Montréal) looks at the earning differential for high school graduates and non-graduates in Quebec. Fortin expands on these results by showing readers what the financial and social gains for Quebec would be if its dropout rate was reduced to that of Ontario (from 8.6% to 5.6%).
