Cost effectiveness
In economic terms, effectiveness measures the extent to which an activity meets its goals. Cost effectiveness, i.e. the ratio of an input to an intermediate or final outcome, reflects the relationship between resources spent and results achieved, and is critical for evaluating the success of government policies. The education and healthcare sectors have sufficiently well developed and internationally standardised measures of inputs and outcomes to allow their cost effectiveness to be meaningfully compared.
