TLDR
The authors examined the relationship between the incentives to work and to invest in human capital through education in a lifecycle optimizing model and found that these incentives are mutually reinforcing in a simple stylized model.Abstract:
This paper examines the relationship between the incentives to work and to invest in human capital through education in a lifecycle optimizing model. These incentives are shown to be mutually reinforcing in a simple stylized model. This theoretical prediction is investigated empirically using three large micro datasets covering a broad range of countries. As one might expect, education and work are strongly positively correlated. This correlation has important implications for models of fiscal policy and economic growth. It also has important implications for the estimation of labor supply and the rate of return to education.read more

The Right to Learn and the Advancement of Teaching: Research, Policy, and Practice for Democratic Education
TL;DR: The right to learn is undoubtably the most fundamental civil rights for which the world has struggled and fought for 5,000 years, and whatever we may think of the curtailment of other civil rights, we should fight to the last ditch to keep open this right as discussed by the authors.

Universal online interventions might engage psychologically distressed university students who are unlikely to seek formal help

The mechanics of economic development
Abstract: This paper considers the prospects for constructing a neoclassical theory of growth and international trade that is consistent with some of the main features of economic development. Three models are considered and compared to evidence: a model emphasizing physical capital accumulation and technological change, a model emphasizing human capital accumulation through schooling, and a model emphasizing specialized human capital accumulation through learning-by-doing.

Human Capital: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis, with Special Reference to Education
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of investment in education and training on earnings and employment are discussed. But the authors focus on the relationship between age and earnings and do not explore the relation between education and fertility.
Book
Schooling, Experience, and Earnings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the distribution of worker earnings across workers and over the working age as consequences of differential investments in human capital and developed the human capital earnings function, an econometric tool for assessing rates of return and other investment parameters.
