Cognitive vs non-cognitive skills

University of Maryland economist Sergio Urzua says non-cognitive skills are as important as cognitive skills in employment trends, government policy, and human behavior. Urzua says economists have typically focused on cognitive skills (such as intelligence, literacy, mathematical abilities) in analyzing employment trends. Recently, however, economists have started to look at non-cognitive "soft" skills (like self esteem, motivation, sympathy). Economists have developed a lot of evidence showing the impact of cognitive skills on labor market outcomes, wages, occupation, and employment, but they didn't really know the importance of these socio-emotional skills. New evidence shows that these soft skills are both as important as cognitive skills in determining labor market outcomes, and are affecting human behavior in general. Urzua says policymakers are starting to consider them in designing and implementing public policy -- particularly in developing countries.
