摘要：

Cross-country data on education and the labor force frequently are used to describe important dimensions of development and to estimate models of economic growth and growth determinants, the impact of education, and related phenomena. This investigation finds: (1) there are serious intertemporal and inter-country comparability problems with these data that may importantly affect inferences about labor force size, trends and productivity and schooling investments and impact; (2) data gaps are systematically related to levels of development and literacy; and (3) conclusions about the determinants or consequences of development based on constructed data that have been made available to fill data gaps can be seriously misleading.
