Solution

The statement that is INCORRECT about the relationship between education and inequality is:

c. In the short run, education itself may be a source of inequality because brain drain (to cities and coastal areas) reduces regional inequality.

This statement is incorrect because brain drain typically increases regional inequality, not reduces it. Brain drain refers to the migration of highly trained or qualified people from a particular area. This often happens from rural to urban areas, or from less developed to more developed regions. As a result, the areas that people leave often suffer from a lack of skilled workers, which can increase inequality. The other statements (a, b, and d) are generally correct in that education can both help to equalize income in the long run, but also contribute to inequality in the short run due to disparities in educational opportunities.
