This course will provide students opportunities to critically read and interpret social science literature on human capital development over the life cycle. It will also give students an opportunity to discuss, through examples, how this evidence could be applied in the real world policy design. The questions to be addressed in this course focus on human capital development such as health, education, and labor policies over the course of one’s life. The examples will help students understand how to interpret available data and use it to evaluate different policy programs.
