SynopsisThe effects of education extend well beyond the economic and labor market benefits, the traditional focus of such research. Education also has powerful effects on both the health levels of a society and its democratic life. This book examines the ways in which education impacts health and civic engagement. Understanding the Social Outcomes of Learning provides evidence from 13 OECD countries: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (England and Scotland), and the United States. The study will be of particular value to those engaged in education and training policy development and implementation., Education is vital for economic success, both at the national and the individual level. But education also has significant social effects. This report is OECD's first attempt to gather and synthesise developments in measuring these social effects. The report focuses on two broad areas: health, and civic and social engagement. In general, better educated people are healthier, and take more part in civic activities. Why should this be so? This publication draws on findings from 13 OECD countries (Austria, Flemish Belgium, Canada, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom England and Scotland] and the United States) to provide new models and insights into these important contemporary issues., The effects of education extend well beyond the economic and labor market benefits, the traditional focus of such research. Education also has powerful effects on both the health levels of a society and its democratic life. This book examines the ways in which education impacts health and civic engagement.
