Research > Research Themes > Human Resources and Endowments

PSC Researchers identified with this theme are listed below.

Differences between and within populations are often functions of individual differences in the characteristics with which they are endowed, from genes and their phenotypic expression, through family background characteristics; as well as the health, nutritional, and educational resources that they are granted, acquire, or invest in across the life cycle (especially in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood).  Examples of the PSC's considerable expertise in the study of human resources and endowments are organized as follows:

• Population heterogeneity: advances in understanding
• Genes and gene-environment interactions in population processes
• Human resource investments
