Abstract | Childhood has gained renewed attention from academics, researchers and policy makers, as evidence shows that this stage of life deeply affects future educational achievements and labour market success (Blanden, Gregg and Macmillan 2007). Children born in poor families are more likely to suffer from worse health, and lower educational and behavioural outcomes (Khanam, Nghiem and Connelly 2014; Khanam and Nghiem 2016). This, in turn, may cause an inter-generational transmission of poverty, because lower educational and behavioural outcomes in childhood usually lead to lower labour earnings later in life. Therefore, investment in childhood is crucial and, incidentally, more effective than investment in other stages of life (Heckman, Stixrud and Urzua 2006). |
