Summary: This study examines the impact of early hardship on individual personality and engagement in business entrepreneurship using the geographical differences in the intensity of China's Great Famine. The research reveals that individuals who experienced more hardship were more likely to become entrepreneurs, and this increase was primarily due to conditioning rather than selection. Furthermore, hardship was associated with increased risk tolerance for both men and women, but only men showed an increase in business ownership.

English skills and early labour market integration: Evidence from humanitarian migrants in Australia

Zhiming Cheng et al.

Summary: This paper explores the relationship between English proficiency and labor market outcomes among humanitarian migrants using panel data from the Building a New Life in Australia survey. The study finds that better English skills, especially in general or speaking, are positively correlated with increased labor force participation and job success. Participation in English training programs is also strongly associated with improved language skills. Factors such as self-esteem, self-efficacy, and general health partially mediate the relationship between English proficiency and labor market outcomes.

Does higher education make you more entrepreneurial? Causal evidence from China

Bin Huang et al.

Summary: Using the 2017 China Household Finance Survey data, the study estimates the impact of higher education on entrepreneurship for prime-aged males. The results indicate that individuals with higher education are less likely to become entrepreneurs, but obtaining qualifications beyond compulsory schooling significantly increases the likelihood of owning large businesses later in life, with the maximum effect seen for university graduates. This effect is attributed to graduates making full use of the opportunities provided by education earlier in life.

Childhood adversity and the propensity for entrepreneurship: A quasi-experimental study of the Great Chinese Famine

Zhiming Cheng et al.

Summary: Studies have found that individuals who experienced greater hardship during the Great Chinese Famine of 1959-1961 are more likely to become entrepreneurs, especially if they were younger at the time. Additionally, being younger at the time of migration also increased the likelihood of becoming entrepreneurs in a new location. Overall, this research sheds light on how childhood adversity shapes the propensity for entrepreneurship and underlines the importance of timing in these experiences.
