Abstract
This paper explores the comparison of Chinese and U.S education systems, discussing the advantages and disadvantages, and these problems will lead to the regional economic difference. It highlights case studies and evaluates characters. The study concludes with the equal educational problem leading to the regional economic disparities. This study shows that college students choose to take student loans in order to enter good universities, and the impact of this is that they are more likely to work in cities with more developed industries after graduation, so as to get a higher salary to repay the student loans. For China, college students will be more inclined to stay in advanced cities, because living in these cities can not only get a higher salary, but also get more policy and education benefits for their next generation. However, as time goes by no matter in U.S or China, poorer cities will lose a lot of excellent talents, affecting the economic growth of these cities, and thus the degree of regional economic differentiation will gradually deepen. This study aims to explore the relationship between an equal education system and Regional economy. It hypothesizes that equal education systems lead to some loss of human resources and cause backward economic development.
