Short Description
Using human capital theory as a framework, this study examines the impact of informal human capital investments made in adolescence on life outcomes.

The hypotheses to be tested are, 1) time spent reading for pleasure as an adolescent will have a positive impact on life outcomes, 2) time spent on extra lessons as an adolescent will have a positive impact on life outcomes, and 3) time spent watching television will have a negative impact on life outcomes.
