Percentages on High School Drop-Outs

Over the years society has changed and with it the average IQ. After extensive research we discovered a pattern of why the IQ has dropped. Over the years the number of dropouts has increased. Life experiences have taught us that education improves one's lot in life. To support the notion, a large and continually growing body of evidence exists that suggests the more education, the better, especially when it comes to making a smooth transition into the workforce.

Around the world, teens are heeding the advice to stay in school. As more and more young people complete high school and postsecondary education, educational attainment continues to grow in most economically developed countries. In Canada, school attendance rates for 15-19 year-olds peaked at around the 82% to 84% range in recent years, up considerably from 25 years earlier when only two-thirds of teens in this age bracket were attending school. In fact, from 1979 to 2004, the teen population fell by 13% (as the baby boomers left this group), but the number of teenagers in school was up almost 10%.

This graph shows who is dropping out and the relations to IQ.
