Get PDFThere is a substantial literature about cost-benefi t
studies of social welfare interventions. It is widely
assumed, and widely quoted by politicians and

order of seven dollars saved for every one dollar
spent. These savings do not appear to be apparent
until the children who received the intervention
reach adulthood.
