国家儿童发展研究（NCDS）的数据被用来研究带薪就业时间对计算能力的负面影响，这是通过16岁的数学测试和37岁的功能计算能力测试来衡量的。将样本限制在16岁时离开全日制教育并在16岁时接受数学教育的受访者中，我们发现有偿就业时间与成人算术分数之间存在负相关性。使用整个样本，成年人的算术分数回归到16岁的数学，家庭背景和成年人的经验。离开有薪工作的时间越长，对成年人计算能力的负面影响就越大。这种关系在16岁时数学差的男性中最为强烈。这表明，在保留技能之前，需要一定的数学水平，而不是因为没有带薪工作而削弱。培训提供了一些保护，防止技能的丧失，妇女在家庭和工作中的更多样化的角色也是如此。
National Child Development Study (NCDS) data are used to examine the negative impact of time out of paid employment on numeracy, as measured by a maths test at 16 and a functional numeracy test at 37. Restricting the sample to respondents who left full‐time education at 16 and accounting for maths at 16, we found negative correlations between time out of paid employment and adult numeracy scores. Using the whole sample, adult numeracy scores were regressed on maths at 16, family background and adult experiences. The longer the absence from paid employment, the greater the negative impact on adult numeracy. The relationship was strongest for men with poor maths at 16. This suggested that a certain level of maths was needed before skills were retained and not weakened by absence from paid employment. Training offered some protection against skill loss, as did women’s more diverse roles at home and work.
