Title: School absenteeism in the first decade of education and outcomes in adolescence and young adulthood.
Abstract: As researchers and policymakers embark on closing the achievement gap among our nation’s children, growing interest has been paid to the implications of absenteeism from school as one source of inequality. Indeed, school absenteeism is an early warning sign: Students who are more frequently absent are at greater risk for school difficulty. Despite the fact that absenteeism starts early, there have not been many long-term studies of school absences. This presentation will begin to fill in these gaps in knowledge and highlight the role of school absences in the first decade of education for individual’s educational success and well-being in adolescence and young adulthood.
