Using linked data from the Millennium Cohort Study and National Pupil Database (N = 8,139), this study examined how the timing of school absences (years 1 to 11 between 2006 and 2017) affects achievement at the end of compulsory schooling in England. Absences during any school year are harmful to student achievement. However, absences in years 6 (final primary school year) to 10 (penultimate year of ...

This introductory chapter begins with a brief outline of key aspects of the current state of research on the family-migration-nexus, subsequently identifying key knowledge gaps. From this, we develop some more general thoughts about the kind of data are needed to fill existing research gaps, and then use the German Emigration and Remigration Panel Study (GERPS) as an example to describe a data set ...

Using SOEP data (2012, 2017), this study quantifies gaps across the wealth distribution and examines income, saving rates, and portfolio composition. Migrants from low- and middle-income countries exhibit the largest gaps, with persistent disadvantages in the upper ...

A growing literature suggests a remarkable heterogeneity in skills and preferences. Although these heterogeneities play an important role in the determination of life outcomes, little is known about their origins. We propose and validate the breastfeeding duration as measure of early lifecircumstances and explore its effects in the development process of risk, time and social preferences. We do so ...
