Education is a key determinant of sustainable economic growth and inequality reduction. Economic literature shows that human capital accumulation raises productive capacity, fosters innovation, facilitates income convergence, and promotes social mobility and gender equality. These findings resonate with Catholic Social Teaching: education is a prerequisite for peoples’ integral development, and culture and formation are essential for human dignity and participation in economic and social life.

Abstract
Education is a key determinant of sustainable economic growth and inequality reduction. Economic literature shows that human capital accumulation raises productive capacity, fosters innovation, facilitates income convergence, and promotes social mobility and gender equality. These findings resonate with Catholic Social Teaching: education is a prerequisite for peoples’ integral development, and culture and formation are essential for human dignity and participation in economic and social life.
