Economic stress, non-cognitive skill development and life outcomes

该项目旨在确定政策，其中非认知技能（NCS）的培养可以打破持续存在的经济劣势。该项目旨在探讨发展差异背后的机制，非华语在“富人和穷人”之间的代际传递，经济压力如何抑制非华语发展，以及学校教育在促进弱势儿童非华语发展方面的作用。预期的成果包括循证政策建议，说明对非华语国家的人力资本投资如何有利于健康、教育和劳动力市场的成功，以及非华语国家如何在经济压力下生存。预期的好处包括新的具有成本效益的政策，以减少不平等和最大限度地提高社会福利。

This project aims to identify policies in which the fostering of non-cognitive skills (NCS) can break the persistence of economic disadvantage. The project seeks to investigate the mechanisms behind differential development, intergenerational transmission of NCS between "rich and poor," how exposure to economic stress inhibits NCS development and the role of schooling in boosting NCS of disadvantaged children. Expected outcomes include evidence-based policy advice on how human capital investments in NCS can be beneficial for health, educational and labour market success, and how NCS can survive despite economic stress. Intended benefits include new cost-effective policies to reduce inequality and maximise the welfare of society.
