[DM] "Correlation between education level and longevity"

[rfmcdonald]

Over at Demography Matters my co-blogger Scott Peterson has a post up linking to the arguments of researcher Robert Hummer that there's a negative correlation between education and mortality, that the higher an individual's level of education the lower the mortality rate, and that this effect doesn't plateau at a particular level. Investing in education, then, is investing in human capital in the broadest sense.

Thoughts?
