Yelenna Rondon – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Human capital theory suggests that lifetime income and socioeconomic status is a function of investments in human capital (Becker, 1962 & 1994; Becker & Tomes, 1986; Tomes, 1981). More recent developments show that human capital accumulation depends on mental health (Fletcher, 2008), in addition to ability, and access to resources to…

Ro, Hyun Kyoung; Fernandez, Frank; Alcott, Benjamin – Educational Policy, 2021
Scholars have shown that low socioeconomic status (SES) students are less likely to study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects and to attend prestigious universities.

Ro, Jina – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2021
Singapore is known as a high-performing country with high-quality teachers and is considered a model system for educational benchmarking.

Aiming at developing a more…

Rappleye, Jeremy; Komatsu, Hikaru – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2021
Extending recent analyses using PISA data, the current study utilises the OECD's Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) to test the central claims of knowledge capital theory. PIAAC has a distinct advantage over PISA in that it more directly tests levels of purported 'knowledge capital' across an entire national workforce, rather than offering…

Beuermann, Diether W.; Bottan, Nicolas L.; Hoffmann, Bridget; Jackson, C. Kirabo; Cossio, Diego A. Vera – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
Canonical human capital theories posit that education, by enhancing worker skills, reduces the likelihood that a worker will be laid-off during times of economic change. Yet, this has not been demonstrated causally. We link administrative education records from 1987 through 2002 to nationally representative surveys conducted before and after…

Isaac Ahimbisibwe – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Human capital development is crucial for economic growth. Policymakers must understand the factors influencing human capital accumulation since they may vary by setting and sector.

Rita Z. Nazeer-Ikeda; Sarah R. Asada – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2025
This paper investigates the case of Singapore where there are teachers' unions but industrial actions are rare. It questions why and how has educator organising, steered by Singapore Teachers' Union, transformed?

This book examines access, lifelong learning and education for all, which have been policy preoccupations in all countries for more than half a century, but have been overlaid and pushed aside by the development of mass higher education. The authors examine what has been achieved, what lessons have been learnt and what still remains to be done,…
