Student debt refers to the money that students borrow to pay for their education, typically in the form of student loans. This debt can be accrued by students attending college, university, or vocational schools. Student debt has become a major issue in recent years as the cost of higher education continues to rise, leading many students to take out loans to afford their education. The rising levels of student debt have significant implications for individuals, families, and the economy, as students struggle to repay their loans and may delay major life milestones, such as buying a home or starting a family. Research on student debt seeks to understand the causes and consequences of this growing problem, as well as potential solutions to alleviate the burden on students and their families.
