“…The educational status of the respondents shows that majority of the male (55.4%) as against the female (47.3%) respondents have Ph.D. Only 5.4% male has first degree, similarly, only 19.6% female respondents have first degree. This is in contrast to Nirmal et al (2018) report that enrolment in higher education institutions has been mostly dominated by the females. With regards to the employment status of the respondents, Table 1 further reveals that more than 63.5% of the male and 86.4% female respondents respectively are in lecturer 1 and below cadre.…”

Recreational activities can be seen as any activities performed willingly to improve both physical and mental well-being of an individual. This study examines the differential determinants of gender participation in recreational activities among members of academic staff of university of Ilorin, Nigeria. Seventy-four male and seventy female academic members of staff were sampled randomly across all the faculties in the institution. A total number of 148 copies of questionnaire were administered on the sampled respondents. Percentages, tables, factor analysis and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the gathered data. Findings revealed that there are 1,117males and 361 females as at January, 2018. Factor 1 (Age) explains the highest percentage of the total variance, followed by Factor 2 (Gender), 3 (academic qualification) and Factor 4 (Employment). Whereas Factor 5 (Accessibility to recreational facilities) explains the lowest percentages of the total variance. The study concluded that awareness should be created for academic members of staff to participate in recreational activities using different recreational facilities available within and outside the institution. This will enhance the physical and psychological wellbeing, thus improving their efficiency.

“…Tertiary School Enrollment (TSE) has statistically positive significant consequence in longrun on GDPPC i.e 1% rise in TSE will increase GDPPC by 0.1561%. The same result was demonstrated by (Hanif & Arshed, 2016;Mendy & Widodo, 2018;Nowak & Dahal, 2016;Singh et al, 2018). Moreover, GFCF, LF, GEE, FDI and TRD has statistically significant outcomes in long-run on GDPPC.…”

“…PMG/ARDL Co-integration procedures should be employed to estimate models since the data has a varied integration order. (Nowak & Dahal, 2016;Omojimite, 2010;Singh et al, 2018). Secondary School Enrollment (SSE) has statistically positive significant outcome in long-run on GDPPC i.e 1% increase in SSE will increase GDPPC 0.0575%.…”

“…Long-run ARDL model results showed that PSE, SSE and TSE had statistically positive significant influence economic development. Singh et al (2018), investigated the impression of different levels of education on economic development of Malaysia period from 1980 to 2015. Empirical investigation of ARDL approach revealed that PSE and SSE were considered as growth-inducing variables in long-run.…”

The primary objective of this paper is to examine the influence of education on SAARC members' economic growth to estimate panel data periods from 1990 to2019, the current study employed panel unit root such as ADF Fisher Chi-square, LLC and IP&SW and for long-run and short-run co-integration applied PMG approach, Kao (1999) co-integration, and Dumitrescu-Hurlin Panel Causality test. Primary School Enrollment (PSE), Secondary School Enrollment (SSE), and Tertiary School Enrollment (TSE) have a constructive and significant influence on GDPPC growth in the long term but have a negligible outcome in short run. In all three models, negative noteworthy value of ECM suggests junction from the short term to long-run equilibrium. Moreover, there is a unidirectional causal association running from PSE, SSE, and TSE to GDPPC. This study concluded that the government should place a greater emphasis on education to stimulate economic growth.

“…The government should enact legislation making secondary school attendance mandatory. This indicator may not only result in a higher secondary completion rate, but will also motivate more students to pursue higher education at the tertiary level, increasing the enrolment rate for tertiary education, which will have both a positive and significant impact on GDP growth in the short and long run (Singh, Lai & Saukani, 2018). When there are more highly skilled people, pay disparity decreases.…”

The goal of this study is to look at the determinants that contribute to income inequality in Malaysia.Methodology: The time series spans the years 1990 -2019, with 30 observations. The empirical findings of this study were obtained using three important econometrics tests through E-views software: Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and Phillips-Perron (PP) test, the JJ Cointegration test, and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) test.Expected Findings: The result reveals that economic growth, education level, and inflation rate have long-run and short-run relationships with income inequality in Malaysia. Practical Implications: The government needs to implement and introduce new ways and solutions in increasing and enhancing the quality of the education system that could aid in reducing the country's income inequality.Originality/Value: Findings of this study will assist the government and policymakers in determining the major drivers that are beneficial in reducing income inequality.
