DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Education is a major determinant of socioeconomic success. Yet when properly counted the U.S. is producing proportionately more high school dropouts than it did thirty years ago. Increases in college attendance and completion have been uneven across family income, race and ethnic groups. The educational gap between the haves and the have not has widened. This project studies the sources of non-cognitive ability over the life cycle with an eye towards understanding which interventions at what ages are likely to be effective. It also examines the life cycle socioeconomic consequences of education and cognitive and non-cognitive abilities. New methods for studying life cycle processes are developed and applied.

描述（由申请人提供）：教育是社会经济成功的主要决定因素。然而，如果计算得当，美国的高中辍学率比30年前高出了20%。大学入学率和毕业率的增长在家庭收入、种族和族裔群体之间是不平衡的。富人和穷人之间的教育差距扩大了。该项目研究生命周期中非认知能力的来源，着眼于了解哪些干预措施在什么年龄可能有效。它还审查了教育和认知和非认知能力的生命周期社会经济后果。研究生命周期过程的新方法被开发和应用。
