Effects of Early Interventions in Child Health and Education: What can We Learn from Quantitative Research?
This two-day workshop will consider the impacts of early interventions on children’s health and education. It will explore how researchers are using cutting-edge quantitative techniques to look at a set of related issues on child health and education.
This two-day workshop will consider the impacts of early interventions on children’s health and education. It will look at what can be learnt from quantitative research using ‘big data’. Increasingly administrative data is being made available to look at these issues in new ways. The workshop will explore how researchers are using cutting-edge quantitative techniques to look at a set of related issues on child health and education.
Policy interest in the themes of the workshop is likely to reach a peak coming up to the next general election with proposals already announced on free school meals, out of school childcare and family tax allowance. The approach taken in this workshop will be uniquely multi-faceted, covering health, education, and non-cognitive outcomes and looking across a range of countries.
