Abstract

The growth and preservation of Human Capital impacts our quality of life. Education is the dominant factor for increasing human capital. Recently there has been a wave of financing opportunities that utilize risk-sharing features. These Income Share Agreements are gaining traction as a popular form of education financing, offering students more flexibility in meeting their financial obligations than traditional student loans.
