This paper uses data from a rich UK birth cohort to estimate the differences in cognitive and non-cognitive skills between children born at the start and end of the academic year.

We provide the first evidence on whether differences in childhood outcomes translate into differences in the probability of employment, occupation and earnings for adults in the UK.

This paper is the first to apply the principle of maximum entropy to the month of birth problem.

This report aims to inform policy debate by providing clear evidence on the magnitude of the differences in outcomes between children and adults born at the start and end of the academic year in England.

This report provides an overview of socio-economic indicators that can be used to define educational disadvantage.

This CAYT report discusses the strengths and limitations of several approaches to assessing the effect of education on productivity.

This note looks at the relationship between reading skills and maths at age 10 with earnings in later life.

This report uses business data to document what happened to a variety of indicators of labour hoarding, as well as investment and training, over the course of the 2008–09 recession.

This paper makes use of newly linked administrative education data from England to understand better the determinants of participation in higher education (HE) among individuals from low socio-economic backgrounds.

Despite increasing numbers of young people taking a gap year, there is little evidence on the characteristics of gap year takers, their motivations for taking a gap year,what they do whilst they are out of education and what effect this decision has on their longer-term outcomes. This report aims to fill these gaps, by providing quantitative evidence from two datasets on gap year takers in the UK.

This Note examines what happened to HE participation overall and at highstatus institutions following the increase in tuition fees (and accompanying changes to student support and other policies designed to 'widen' participation) that occurred in 2006-07.
