Abstract	One of the key themes covered in the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) are returns to education. Within this wide-ranging field, NEPS focuses on the four following returns dimensions on which education is supposed to have an effect: labor market outcomes, civic engagement, health, and subjective well-being. The transformation of education into these outcomes occurs through a multitude of different sub-processes. Therefore adequate, relevant instruments necessary for analyses of, ideally, the causal relationship between and mediators of educational attainment and the outcomes from which an individual benefits in his or her working and private life are included in the NEPS survey program. In the present paper, we outline the theoretical framework underlying the design of the returns-related NEPS questionnaire program, which relies on human capital theory and theories that consider the role of social capital, and we briefly present the implemented measurement concepts for each of the outcome domains.
