The life course of graduates: Assessing the economic effects of education in Scandinavia, 1880–1920

This project examines the contribution of education to the economic development of Denmark, Norway and Sweden in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Using a rich, individual-level dataset linked to census records, the project looks beyond levels of education (eg. years of schooling) to the effect of different types of education — at a time of expanded educational offerings.
