व्यक्ति अपनी भावी आय बढ़ाने के लिए शिक्षा पर निवेश करता है। एक साक्षर व्यक्ति को श्रम-कौशल एक निरक्षर की तुलना में अधिक होता है। शिक्षा न केवल श्रम की उत्पादकता को बढ़ाती है। बल्कि यह साथ-ही-साथ परिवर्तन को प्रोत्साहित कर नवीन प्रौद्योगिकी को आत्मसात करने की क्षमता भी विकसित करती है। शिक्षा समाज में परिवर्तनों एवं वैज्ञानिक प्रगति को समझ पाने की क्षमता प्रदान करती है जिससे आविष्कारों एवं नव-परिवर्तनों में सहायता मिलती है। शिक्षित एवं कुशल श्रमिक भौतिक साधनों का  प्रयोग करके ज्यादा और उच्च गुणवत्ता का उत्पादन करके आर्थिक संवृद्धि को जन्म देते हैं। इस प्रकार शिक्षा में निवेश से आर्थिक संवृद्धि में भी बढ़ोत्तरी होती है।
