The Santa Catarina state has the third position in ranking of HDI, a development grade appointed by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). However, Santa Catarina education finds gaps that allow us to question the sustainable development. This research aims to analyze the importance of Higher Education that affect the long run development. Considering the Gini income and Gini educational grade is possible to conclude that the inequality of concentration indices allow us to think that the state does not have inequalities revealed by these meanings. The research shows that inequality has increased in the state and there are many differences in wage gains between high school and Higher Education exceeding 150%. It is noticed an increasing trend of workers in high school in front of other educational groups.

Keywords : High Education; Inequality; Wages; Schooling, Gini Index.
