Fulfilling Potential, Creating Success examines human capital development from the perspective of several disciplines including education, psychology, sociology, politics, economics, geography, health, and civic engagement. This volume, produced by the Canadian Policy Research Networks (CPRN), the School of Policy Studies at Queen's University (SPS), and Statistics Canada, outlines what each of the disciplines can tell us about human capital development. Contributors explore the value in integrating family, education, and public health policies into a coherent "life course" so that influences at early stages of life have implications for human capital development at later stages. The volume also emphasizes connections between the acquisition of human capital and individual and societal outcomes and the policy implications of these relationships. Topics include the personal and social gains of the acquisition of skills and knowledge such as improved employment prospects, less crime, improved health, greater participation in political activity, more engagement of citizens in their communities, and a more innovative economy.
