چکیده
This paper presents results on the effectiveness of different human capital policies targeted to disadvantaged groups in the Netherlands. The policies considered are: class size reduction, extra resources for personnel, extra resources for computers, lowering the compulsory school attendance age and increasing the compulsory school leaving age. All results are based on some quasi-experimental research design. Lowering the compulsory school attendance age is the only intervention producing significantly positive effects. For the other interventions substantial positive effects can be ruled out.
