Early childhood development and later health, education and employment outcomes in Russia.

Evidence for developed countries has shown that early childhood development is a strong predictor of future outcomes. Education policies at higher levels should take in consideration individuals’ life-skills formation history in order to thrive. However, the lack of data has reduced the amount of research on children’s development and later success in most of middle income countries. In these, the absence of formal policies and institutions to alleviate inequalities from birth, may reinforce the relationship between early children’s endowments and later success in life. This study aims to quantify the lasting effects of children’s early development on their future health status, their education and employment outcomes in Russia.

We are looking mainly for students of Faculty of Economic Sciences (3rd year of BA and 1st year of MA). Students of 4th year of BA and 2 year of MA programmes are also welcome, but the duration of the project and number of credits will be lowered in that case. We may also consider students from other educational programmes if they have relevant skills for the project.
