ear ly school leaving: contempor ary european perspectives

and/or EU economic growth in terms of the costs of an individual ESLer
per lifetime and the financial gains of potentially reducing ESL. According
to critical approaches of understanding policy problems (wicked problems,
governance of problems, problem represented to be) that were also present-
ed in the paper, this creates the possibility that the social benefits of edu-
cation and thus the social negative consequences of ESL will become over-
looked when designing measures against ESL and opens the question of
whether studies that point out the financial costs are not being used to jus-
tify a distinct (economically oriented) policy regarding ESL in the EU.
