How can education dollars be spent more efficiently? Should government's role in medical care increase or decrease? In this volume, social scientists, lawyers, and a physician explore the political, social, and economic forces that shape policies affecting human services. Four in-depth studies of human-service sectors-child care, education, medical care, and long-term care for the elderly-are followed by six cross-sector studies that stimulate new ways of thinking about human services through the application of economic theory, institutional analysis, and the history of social policy. The contributors include Kenneth J. Arrow, Martin Feldstein, Victor Fuchs, Alan M. Garber, Eric A. Hanushek, Christopher Jencks, Seymour Martin Lipset, Glenn Loury, Roger G. Noll, Paul M. Romer, Amartya Sen, and Theda Skocpol. This timely study sheds important light on the tension between individual and social responsibility, and will appeal to economists and other social scientists and policymakers concerned with social policy issues. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aHuman services$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aChild care$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$xLong-term care$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aEducation$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aMedical care$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aResponsibility$zUnited States$vCongresses 610 $along term care, medical, education, childcare, government, policy, budget, funding, assistance, aid, welfare, poverty, public school, regulation, social sciences, medicine, healthcare, economics, elderly, aging, senior citizens, spending, reform, entitlement, nonprofits, human services, responsibility, politics, economy, political science, nonfiction. 615 0$aHuman services 615 0$aChild care 615 0$aOlder people$xLong-term care 615 0$aEducation 615 0$aMedical care 615 0$aResponsibility 676 $a361.973 686 $aQX 000$2rvk 701 $aFuchs$b Victor R$046998 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784749603321 996 $aIndividual and social responsibility$93752022 997 $aUNINA
