Abstract
According to the human capital model, education is the main factor for improving income; wages are closely and directly linked to schooling: wages will be higher according to education level. In this article, we study the relationship between schooling, wages, and profits for private education, estimated at 10 per cent, produced by the education in the Mexican northern border states: Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas. Workers that inhabit the relatively most developed cities like Tijuana, Mexicali, Ciudad Juarez, and Nuevo Laredo show a defined territorial income pattern and earn higher wages than the workers that live in areas which are less developed or farther from the northern border region.
