Dessa Rosenwald-skolor möjliggjorde social rörlighet i generationer. Sådana exempel visar att sociala framsteg inte enbart kommer från regeringen; privata aktörer kan också göra en enorm skillnad.

Eller Julius Rosenwald, grundaren av Sears Roebuck, som tillsammans med Booker T. Washington byggde tusentals skolor för afroamerikanska barn i södra USA.

Well done!

I recall a story where a student (from UCL I think) submitted his whole PhD-thesis (unedited) to Econometrica. Not sure what happened.

“If this government wants to boost children’s life chances, it should take a serious look at integrated early years services.”

At most ages, children from disadvantaged backgrounds experienced greater benefits from Sure Start, though other children also benefitted.

In general, boys and children from ethnic minority backgrounds also tended to experience slightly larger effects.

Sure Start’s effects on more severe outcomes were limited. We find little effect on contact with children’s social care; Education Health and Care Plans; and serious crime. This suggests that universal light-touch services on their own don’t meet the highest needs.

At its peak, Sure Start cost around £2.7bn per year (in today's prices).

We estimate that over the long run, it might generate £2.4bn in savings for government per cohort.

Including wider benefits like higher earnings, total long-run benefits could be twice the cost.
