Michigan Study Shows That Incentives Encourage Students to do Homework

A new study released by the University of Michigan and reported in Time Magazine found that children who were shown information about how education improves job prospects in later life were more likely to do an extra credit assignment given to them than children who were not shown the same information.

This study was done on low-income children, for whom an experience of not having enough money would probably encourage them to try and make more money in later life
