Education, occupation and development.

In analysing the correlation between education and development and education and level of occupation the hypothesis is put forward that the role of formal education in the distribution of occupational roles increases from a stage of complete under development but decreases again at a stage of advanced development where education tends to become a necessary but no longer sufficient condition. A phenomenon of `super-education' arises when the occupational structure remains largely static and this situation is analysed through a survey of the population of Montevideo which also shows the relationship between education and degrees of urban socialization.
