The questions this essay strives to answer are the following: What possibilities and difficulties do cost-benefit-analyses entail? How would one conduct a cost-benefit-analysis of the project in Kävlinge?
The method used in this essay is mainly a literature study of cost-benefit-analysis of labour market programs. The labour market project Brännpunkt is used as an example in a partial cost-benefit-analysis.
The applied cost-benefit-analysis of the Brännpunkt project in Kävlinge shows that it is possible to calculate the profit for the society as a whole, given that the necessary information is obtainable. In the information available at the time of the analysis there was no information regarding the long-term employment of the participants in the Brännpunkt project. Thus a calculation of the accumulated benefits was not possible, however it was possible to calculate the required unemployment reduction for the project to achieve break-even-point for the society as a whole.
