Sept 21, 2015: Universal Child Care Outcomes Questioned In New Study. This study is a follow up from a previous study by the same 3 economists that was published in a top peer-reviewed journal, Political Economy, and won the 2008 Purvis Prize. In addition to negative outcomes for kids and parents, they found increased maternal employment that produced more taxes that covered only 40% of the program costs. The other study mentioned by Pierre Fortin in 2012 is NOT peer reviewed, even by 2015, but has been cited by CCPA etc as proof that daycare produces benefits over costs.
