In this report we investigate how education and processes of social capital formation play out over a person’s life in the context of individual well-being, family dynamics and community cohesion. We focus particularly on the impact that education has on health, crime, parenting and citizenship. We also provide a brief introduction to the theoretical work that has helped to shed light on the often complex relationships that learning has with the topics discussed in this synthesis of findings.
