The document discusses findings from the High Scope Perry Preschool study. The study found that children who participated in the preschool program had higher employment rates and earned more income as adults compared to children who did not participate. They were also less likely to commit crimes or need welfare assistance. The preschool program was found to generate a return of over $17 for every $1 invested due to increased taxes paid and reduced costs of remedial education, welfare, and criminal justice system.
