Answer to Question 1

Supply and demand are not equated by a price adjusting market mechanism, but rather institutionally, through the state. Those with political influence seek to create subsidized education for their children.

Answer to Question 2

An inferior good is one for which smaller quantities are demanded at higher levels of income. The discussion should be framed in terms of greater opportunity cost of children when incomes rise and the substitution of quality of children (better health, education) for quantity.
