Dunedin Study data to help form international social policies

Tuesday 22nd July 2025

A collaboration between the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Dunedin Study has come to fruition with the release of a new report using Dunedin Study data.

Described as a landmark collaboration, the report concept was developed by Late Emeritus Distinguished Professor and previous Director of the Dunedin Study Richie Poulton.

The OECD plans to use these findings to help policymakers around the world understand how early life experiences shape futures that thrive or struggle.
