Published study said children born, the success

A study in 2012 shows only 5.8% of CEOS in Group S&P 500 (the 500 companies with the largest market capitalization listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ) born in July (based upon how school-age provisions in the us).

But there are 12.5% born in March.

This academic terms called "relative age effect", in which the initial advantage of age will become long-term advantage-after-New York Magazine writes.

Can explain this based on the age at which children start going to school. If you born in June or July, according to the logic then you will is the youngest layers (in the us, the child born from the first year to 31/7 will be placed in the same group on class 1. Born after 31/7 will enter first grade next year). And if you are born in March or April, you'll be the oldest class.

"The older children in the same age tend to better study the kids younger than"-co-author of this study, as well as financial lecturer UNIVERSITY of British Columbia, says Maurice Levi commented. "These kids from small achievements will be awarded for leadership and learning opportunities, leading to other advantages in the future".

Another study also have the same opinion with this research. Duke UNIVERSITY after learning outcomes and tracking offenses by students concluded:

"These students soon on regulating school age tend to be better students born before in the subjects of reading and math levels, and there is less crime rate. On the other hand, the children born after the prescribed proportion of higher secondary school and the rate of serious crimes before the age of 19. Our research also shows evidence of having left school early is because these children have the opportunity of exposure longer than with the prospects of the left school ".

Results of research are denoted by the graph may render many startled.

The score Read subjects in grade 6 to grade 8 by age than on school regulations.

It is clear that the date of birth is not the only determinants of success.

It is clear that the date of birth is not the only determinants of success but this fact can also cause frustrating knowing that a random factors such as date of birth can also create advantages or disadvantages during later life.

"Our study provides further evidence that the way our education system regulating school age also affect the long-term success of the child"-Mr. Levi said. "We may lose some business talents by letting them go to school too early".

Some parents have tried to compensate for this bias by giving kids learn more preschool a year to get the advantage.However, it can also be a bad idea because there was a preliminary study shows that children who go to school later than age have an IQ and the ability to make money worse than other children.=
