This project team will use nationally representative data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study to analyze how social and emotional skills (e.g., self-discipline, self-efficacy, and social skills) at ages 9 and 15 relate to a child’s education level, occupation, and earnings at age 22. The study will examine how these skills interact with individual-, school-, and district-level factors.
