Title: Misspent Youth: The Costs of Truancy and Exclusion: A Guide for Donors and Funders
Summary: This report is about the costs of truancy and exclusion from school It is also more broadly about measuring the social costs and the returns from effective ways of tackling social problems. It starts from the premise that measurement can produce interesting and valuable insights. It applies this premise to school exclusions and to persistent truanting. Precise data on the subject is not available but using a series of indirect proxies and partial data, it is possible to piece together a picture of the lifetime costs associated with exclusions and with truanting.
