Low-skilled adults are: • 2x more likely to be unemployed; • 3x more likely to be in poverty; • 4x more likely to be in poor health; and • 8x more likely to be incarcerated.
Educating adults creates stronger communities. Higher education levels are correlated with lower rates of chronic diseases like diabetes and asthma. A mother’s education level is the highest determinate of a child’s academic success.[i] Better-educated parents raise better educated, more successful, children, who are less likely to end up in poverty or prison.
