The majority of research on the outcomes of education has focused on the effect of educational attainment on individuals' wages and on the level of skill in the economy as a whole. In this article, however, Nevzer Stacey argues that examining the social benefits of education beyond its economic impact would provide a more comprehensive informational basis for developing national educational policies. She reviews the literature that examines the impact of educational attainment on four areas of potential intervention: health; family structure, fertility, and child care; the environment; and crime. Although these studies report some statistics on education, virtually none uses measures of learning or inputs related to the learning process to estimate the effect of education. Stacey concludes that a more systematic analysis is needed to improve our under-standing of the full effect of education on society in order to determine appropriate public policy.

Arguing that examining the social benefits of education beyond its economic impact would provide a more comprehensive informational basis for developing national educational policies, results are presented of a review of the literature investigating the impact of educational attainment on four areas of potential intervention: health; family structure, fertility, & child care; the environment; & crime. Although these studies report some statistics on education, virtually none uses measures of learning or inputs related to the learning process to estimate the effect of education. It is concluded that a more systematic analysis is needed to enhance understanding of the full effect of education on society &, thus, determine appropriate public policy. 35 References.

For decades, the primary argument in justifying education has been based on its direct economic effects. Yet education also provides "social benefits" for individuals and society at large, including a better way of taking care of ourselves and consequently creating a better society to live in. Though difficult to quantify these social benefits, a more systematic analysis would improve our understanding of the full effects of education and provide a basis for considering related policies. To promote better understanding, the Office of Research of the United States Department of Education commissioned a series of papers on measuring these effects of education

AbstractSoviet era firms provided generous social benefits, including health and child care. Despite recent cuts, firm survey data show that benefits have remained a major component of total compensation. With benefits largely firm‐specific and firms dominated by insiders, continuing attachment of workers as well as widespread informal sector participation has resulted. This has impeded restructuring, in part by generating significant set‐up costs for new private firms. We simulate the effects of a cut in subsidies to benefits provision. We show that while this leads to falls in benefits and employment and an increase in wages, the outcome critically depends on the availability of alternative providers. The key to cushioning these adverse consequences is the stimulation of a market in benefits provision. Given initial conditions, rapid removal of benefits supports will require transitional income support scheme of transitional support and show that it can be financed from the savings from removal of current subsidies to benefits.

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit den Implikationen der gegenwärtigen Steuer- und Sozialversicherungssysteme für die Binnenwanderung und die Migration von Arbeitnehmern innerhalb der EU-Mitgliedsstaaten. Dabei geht es zunächst um die ökonomische Debatte, welchen Einfluss die Immigration auf den Arbeitsmarkt des Gastlandes ausübt, welche Determinanten für Wanderarbeitnehmer entscheidungsleitend sind und wie hoch die finanziellen Belastungen für die betroffenen Migranten sind. Darüber hinaus werden Aussagen über die Relevanz der Steuergesetze bzw. die Notwendigkeit von Steuerreformen für die positiven Aspekte der Arbeitsmigration innerhalb der EU, z.B. bei der Sorge um die Überalterung der Gesellschaft mit ihren Auswirkungen auf die Sozialversicherungssysteme, gemacht. Gefordert wird eine Vereinheitlichung der Steuersysteme innerhalb der EU. Statistische Daten aus verschiedenen EU-Ländern verdeutlichen trotz der Diskussion der EU um Steuervereinheitlichung seit rund 30 Jahren die hohen Diskrepanzen der verschiedenen Steuerabgaben. Auf dem Hintergrund der EU-Erweiterung und der Bemühungen um eine einheitliche Migrationspolitik erscheint eine bessere Koordinierung der Steuerpolitik zwischen den EU-Mitgliedsstaaten für die Umsetzung einer kohärenten Immigrationspolitik unerlässlich.
