Individuals w/ post-secondary degree earn higher incomes & less likely to experience unemployment. Government is more focused on how education improves national productivity . Decrease in primary sector (jobs do not require much education) more emphasis focus on development of educated knowledge workers placed on manual labour and research extraction. #3 forms and functions of education are increasing and diversifying in our modern schooled society. Past: schools focused on reading, writing, and basic math. Present: teach above skills & additional subjects (e. g; pe, sex education, etc) Manifest functions: obvious and intended functions of education (e. g; basic knowledge and skills).
