我提出一项关于技能、教育和劳动力市场的重大研究计划。该计划将以四个事实为基础。首先，能力和技能是多维的。其次，中学和高等教育在质量和所提供的技能和知识类型上都是异质的。第三，工作的要求有很大的不同。最后，技术变革、全球化以及商品和服务需求构成的变化改变了劳动力市场对特定技能的需求，而不是供应，这对工资分配有重要影响。从本质上讲，该研究项目将把能力、技能和知识的多维度置于儿童发展、教育成就和劳动力市场职业的理论和实证研究的中心阶段。在本文中，我讨论了为什么需要该计划以及为什么成功的前景很高。我提供了一个简短的草图，而不是一个完整的建议，并且必须使用一个非常广泛的刷子。
I propose a major program of research on skill, education, and the labor market. The program will build on four facts. First, ability and skill are multidimensional. Second, secondary and postsecondary education is heterogeneous in quality and in the types of skills and knowledge provided. Third, jobs differ substantially in what they require. Finally, technical change, globalization, and shifts in the composition of demand for goods and services alter the demand for particular skills in the labor market relative to supply, with important implications for the wage distribution. In essence, the research program will place the multidimensionality of ability, skills, and knowledge at the center stage of theoretical and empirical research on child development, educational attainment, and labor market careers. In this document, I discuss why the program is needed and why the prospects for success are high. I provide a brief sketch rather than a full blown proposal and of necessity use a very broad brush.
