It has been assumed that a good thing makes the other things to be good. This common belief, however, has not been empirically supported. It has been believed that education is good and therefore educational expansion is very desirable. Educational expansion has been expected as one of the best ways to achieve an equal society. Similarly, it has been argued that women should not be discriminated and therefore women's free participation in labor force is necessary to build a just society. Contrary to these common assumptions, educational expansion and women's labor force participation cannot help to build the unstratified or classless society even though both by themselves are desirable. At first, the argument that education is an effective social equalizer has been based on the romantic illusion about society. According to the argument, society has always prepared to distribute the appropriate jobs to the educationally qualified applicants. Unfortunately, the jobs, particularly the 'good' jobs have been limited compared to the qualified applicants. Because education has been used as the screening device the applicants have to attain educational credential as high as possible to get the better jobs. In this credential game the upper classes have social and economic advantage. When the masses give the required level of schooling to their offspring, the level has already been short to get the targeted jobs. Their educational investment cannot be rewarded with the good jobs. And their economic burden for the educational investment is much heavier compared to the upper classes. Therefore, educational expansion is not good for building the equal society. Rather, it makes the society worse. Secondly, in order to build the equal society, women's labor force participation is not desirable. This argument is rooted on the several assumptions. (1) Women are also stratified according to their family background and education. Some women get the good jobs and others cannot. (2) The vacancy of the good jobs is not enough to open to any applicant. Because of the shortage of the good jobs the applicants have to play the zero-sum game. In other words, if one applicant gets one good job, then the others should be excluded from the job. (3) If educationally and/or socially advantaged women get good jobs which have been occupied by men, some men should be excluded from the jobs. (4) In modem societies many women have been participated in labor force and many families have two earners, husband and wife. Therefore, the family should be the social unit. (5) Education and status of family of origin influence the choice of a marriage partner. Homogamy has been strongly supported by many theorists. Based on the five assumptions, it can be concluded that women's labor force participation is not helpful at least to build the equal society. However, this conclusion should not be used to prevent women from participating in labor force. Even in the extremely supposed case that one family should have one earner, wives can be the bread winners. Custom and folkways are the unjustified ideology to keep the ad hoc advantage.
