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 Tulsa)合作，研究扩大后的职业培训计划CareerAdvance®是否对父母和子女的人力资本成果产生重大影响。CareerAdvance®是一项反贫困计划，旨在为低收入父母和儿童提供医疗保健部门的教育和培训，而他们的孩子在Head Start或早期小学入学。总体而言，该项目的结果将向政策制定者和方案提供者提供信息，说明低收入父母如何在提高下一代--他们的子女--的技能和生活机会的同时，改善他们的就业和收入。该项目由特蕾莎·埃克里希·萨默博士领导。要了解西北大学两代研究计划的更多信息，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/.
