No Small Matter: The Impact of Poverty, Shocks, and Human Capital Investments in Early Childhood Development (Human Development Perspectives (Paperback))

by HaroldHAlderman (Editor)

Synopsis

Even with increased emphasis on basic education for all, many individuals fail to achieve basic skills to succeed in life. This presents evidence that one core reason is that by the time a child is old enough to attend school, there is already a wide disparity in cognitive skills and in emotional and behavioural development among children from households of different socioeconomic backgrounds.
