The economic case for preschool
Why should I pay to support someone else's child in and Early Childhood program?
What is the return on investment?
Why are certain communities growing and others are not?
What determines an individual's wages?
Timothy Bartik makes the macro-economic case for preschool education -- and explains why you should be happy to invest in it, even if you don't have kids that age (or kids at all). The economic benefits of well-educated kids, it turns out, go well beyond the altruistic.
