Video: What benefits children’s development? What the top economist James Heckman really says.

February 2021 – video – interview with Nobel Laureate economist Dr James Heckman – American Enterprise Institute – “The Role of Families in Human Flourishing”

Economist James Heckman’s research on the cost-benefit of very high quality early intervention programs for very underprivileged inner city children is grossly misrepresented by daycare lobbyists to claim that all daycare, preschool, or all-day kindergarten programs produce $1.50 – $17+ for every $1 ‘invested’ in them.

In reality, he says his research does not support ‘universal’ programs.”Family, family, family: it’s the family!” Dr Heckman insists.
