 Feb. 18, 2025 | OPINION | A remarkable phenomenon that’s emerged in the past 50 years is that Americans who earn a college degree will live considerably longer than those without. Economists Anne Case and Angus Deaton have shown that the mortality gap between Americans with and without a college degree has widened from about 2.5 years in 1992 to over 8.5 years post-pandemic. As a result, Americans with a college degree are on a similar upward trajectory of life expectancy compared to those in other rich democracies, whereas Americans without a college degree are distinct in their stalled and falling life expectancy.
