    Success in life increasingly depends on key skills that allow people to thrive in education, the labor market, and their interactions with others. In this paper, we emphasize creativity as a key skill that is essential to open-ended problem solving and resistant to automation. We use rich longitudinal data to study the relationship between people's creativity measured in childhood and their individual attributes and life outcomes. We find that childhood creativity predicts labor market and educational success: more creative individuals earn more during the course of their careers, work in higher occupational categories, and reach higher levels of educational attainment. Our analysis of attributes further suggests that creative individuals have a package of practical skills that allows them to thrive in work environments where learning from experience is important. We combine insights from our findings with evidence from psychology to propose creativity-improving interventions that could lead to substantial economic benefits.

    This volume presents the results of the Cohort ’18 Hungarian Birth Cohort Study as the third output in the research series. The first contained the theoretical, methodological and organizational tasks preceding the prenatal data collection wave. The second volume presented the theoretical background and the conceptualization of the Cohort ’18 Hungarian Birth Cohort Study. This third volume describes the methodology of the prenatal data collection wave and the technical background to the surveying and data processing. We present the sampling procedure, sample coverage and reliability of the raw data. This is followed by a summary and description of the documents and questionnaires used in the fieldwork, as well the quality control procedures. We also present the data recording, editing and cleaning process, and review the content of the different databases. Finally, we summarize the most important statistics of the fieldwork and the metadata of the,survey and conclude with reviewing the research ethics guidelines.

    Objective: At work, people are confronted with clear behavioral expectations. In line with the Social Investment Principle, the beginning and ending of working life might thus promote changes in personality traits that are relevant at work (e.g., Conscientiousness). Method: Based on the data from the Socio- Economic Panel Study (SOEP), we examined nuanced differences of the Big Five personality traits in the years around the beginning and ending of working life. Whether participants had started working or retired in the past year was assessed yearly. The Big Five personality traits were assessed in four waves between 2005 and 2017. Results: In people who started working, multilevel analyses revealed that Conscientiousness was higher in the first year of working life versus all other years. Extraversion was higher in and after the first year of working life versus before, and Agreeableness increased gradually in the three years after people had started working. In people who retired, Conscientiousness was lower in and after the first year of retirement versus before. No other traits differed around the start of retirement. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the start of working life might promote personality maturation and that retirement might promote personality "relaxation.
