US: Child Welfare’s Principal-Agent Problem (Opinion)
The Chronicle of Social Change – May 18, 2016
The principal-agent problem arises because we humans need to do many important things that no one person can accomplish. Protecting a population of children at risk of maltreatment and neglect is one such thing. If we want thousands of at-risk children protected, we, the “principals,” must hire people, a lot of people, to do the protecting.
