The effects of parental education on child health outcomes

该项目旨在了解公共教育政策如何改善健康。对教育回报的一般经济分析未能捕捉到父母教育对后代健康的重要次要有益影响。在对澳大利亚教育投资的成本效益分析中，这些积极影响被系统地低估了。该项目将使用澳大利亚的数据集和自然实验来确定父母教育如何影响第二代的健康结果。该项目旨在提供政策建议，以最大限度地提高澳大利亚的健康，福祉和经济成果。

This project aims to understand how public education policies can improve health. Common economic analysis of returns to education fails to capture the critical secondary beneficial effects of parental education on future generations’ health. These positive effects are systematically undercounted in the cost-benefit analysis of Australia’s investment in education. This project will use Australian datasets and natural experiments to identify how parental education affects the health outcomes of the second generation. This project expects to provide policy recommendations to maximise health, wellbeing and economic outcomes for Australia.
