Economic impact
Can child abuse and neglect affect our long-term economic stability?
Statistics provided by Alabama Network of Children's Advocacy Centers
Statistics provided by Alabama Network of Children's Advocacy Centers
- The purpose of this study was to determine whether child abuse and neglect affects long-term economic productivity of those directly affected.
- These results are part of the only long-term prospective cohort research study with a matched comparison group.
- Prior published research has focused on mental health and behavioral outcomes.
- The data were collected from 1967-2005 in one Midwestern metropolitan county.
- All child abuse and neglect cases included involved children under the age of 11 and were substantiated in court proceedings.
Individuals with a history of child maltreatment:
- Were significantly less likely to own a bank account, stock, a vehicle, or a home;
- Earned almost $8,000 less per year than non-abused subjects.
Women abused in childhood appear to have greater long-term economic impacts than men who were abused in childhood.

The economic burden of child maltreatment
The estimated average lifetime cost per victim of nonfatal child maltreatment is $210,012 in 2010 USD:
- $32,648 in childhood health care costs.
- $10,530 in adult medical costs.
- $144,360 in productivity losses.
- $7,728 in child welfare costs.
- $6,747 in criminal justice costs.
- $7,999 in special education costs.
The estimated average lifetime cost per death is $1,272,900:
- $14,100 in medical costs.
- $1,258,800 in productivity losses.
Total lifetime economic burden from both:
- Approximately $124 billion – possibly as large as $585 billion.
