VALDES PASARON, Sergio; OCEGUEDA HERNANDEZ, Juan Manuel  and  ROMERO GOMEZ, Antonio. Quality in Education and Its Relation to Levels of Economic Growth in Mexico. Econ. y Desarrollo [online]. 2018, vol.159, n.1, pp.61-79. ISSN ISSN.

Literature on education has focused on comparing student enrollment data, literacy rates, and education systems in developed and developing countries, disregarding the subject of quality in education. This is likely due to the failure to reach an agreement on how to measure it. This paper examines how education can contribute to an increased human capital possessed by labor force, so productivity can be enhanced, and production can be in balance. It also examines how education boosts the economic growth by means of innovation that education also promotes, and answers the question, whether or not quality in education has an influence on the economic growth? by using new methodologies to find a single way of measuring the quality in education in the United Mexican States, and its impact on the economic growth.

Keywords : calidad educativa; quality in education; human capital; economic growth; fuzzy logic.
