1. By placing barriers to education, society ensures itself a large pool of unskilled labor which can be paid low wages because high supply.
2. By placing barriers to education, it artificially decreases supply of high-skilled labor, resulting in higher wages for the educated.
Are barriers actually happening for these reasons? Cynicism would predict yes, but several difficulties:
There would both be demand and supply for education without the barriers. Free market must be thwarted.
Several other models of education must be at least partially wrong: Education does not teach anything. There are barriers after education.
