Among all the factors that can increase a person's chances of growing in life, Education plays the most relevant role. Several studies show that the more you progress in your school career, the higher your income as a worker. But what emerges from the data made available on the new platform of the Institute for Mobility and Social Development (IMDS) are the effects of a person's level of schooling on the development of their children. And, mainly, how much each year of a person's studies can convert into higher development in the academic life of their children.
