THE NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY TWO-GENERATION STUDY (NU2GEN) OF PARENT AND CHILD HUMAN CAPITAL ADVANCEMENT

西北大学将继续与塔尔萨县社区行动项目（CAP塔尔萨）合作，研究扩大的职业培训计划CareerAdvance®是否对父母和子女的人力资本成果产生有意义的影响。CareerAdvance®是一项扶贫计划，针对低收入父母和儿童，在他们的孩子进入学前教育或小学早期教育时，向父母提供医疗保健部门的教育和培训。总的来说，这个项目的结果将告知政策制定者和方案提供者，低收入父母如何能够改善他们的就业和收入，同时提高下一代的技能和生活机会-他们的孩子。该项目由Teresa Eckrich Sommer博士领导。要了解更多关于西北大学两代研究计划，请访问：http://www.ipr.northwestern.edu/research-areas/child-adolescent/NU2gen/。

Northwestern University will continue their partnership with the Community Action Project of Tulsa County (CAP Tulsa) to examine whether the scaled-up career-training program, CareerAdvance®, has meaningful impacts on both parent and child human capital outcomes. CareerAdvance® is an antipoverty program that targets low-income parents and children together by offering education and training in the healthcare sector to parents while their children are enrolled in Head Start or early elementary school. Collectively, the results of this project will inform policymakers and program providers on how low-income parents can improve their employment and earnings while advancing the skills and life opportunities of the next generation-their children. The project is led by Teresa Eckrich Sommer Ph.D. To learn more about the Northwestern University Two-Generation Research Initiative, visit: http://www.ipr.northwestern.edu/research-areas/child-adolescent/NU2gen/.
