在过去的十年中，“社会投资”（SI）的概念在福利国家未来的政治辩论中获得了相当大的吸引力。SI政策干预的多面性，政策的互补性和互动的影响，为不同的社会群体和世代，以及在不同的时间维度划分效果的挑战，我们认为，目前的实证研究没有（尚未）妥善解决。本文有助于重新定位SI回报的测量到一个长期的角度来看，概念化他们作为人们的工作和福利相关的结果。它以一种新颖的方式操作经合组织国家的宏观层面数据，以分析SI存量、流量和缓冲政策的中期总体影响，重点是后工业生命周期过程中最关键的阶段：向就业和家庭形成的过渡。我们的研究结果意味着，所谓的“马太效应”，以下圣经谚语“给他，应给予”，确定在以前的研究源于测量SI回报概念化的短期再分配的角度。从社会责任政策在社会一级的长期回报来看，有子女的家庭取得了积极成果。
Over the past decade, the notion of ‘social investment’ (SI) has gained considerable traction in the political debates over welfare state futures. The multifaceted character of SI policy interventions, the effects of policy complementarities and interactions for different social groups and generational cohorts, and the challenge of delineating effects across different time dimensions, we argue, are not (yet) properly addressed by current empirical research. This paper contributes to reorienting the measurement of SI returns into a longer-term perspective, conceptualising them as people’s work- and welfare- related outcomes. It operationalises in a novel fashion macro-level data across OECD countries to analyse the medium-term aggregate effects of SI stock, flow and buffer policies with a focus on arguably the most critical stages in the post-industrial life-cycle course: transition into employment and family formation. Our findings imply that the so-called ‘Matthew effects’, following the biblical proverb ‘to him that hath shall be given’, identified in previous research stem from a measurement of SI returns conceptualised in a short-term redistributive perspective. Moving on to longer-term returns to SI policies at the societal level reveals positive outcomes for families with children.
