Rationale

A $15B increase to education spending targets classroom size reduction, teacher compensation, and STEM curriculum. Long-term impacts on innovation, graduation rates, and median income.

Details

Epoch: 1

Domain: education

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $15.00B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$30.02B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$24.00B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via education_spending
  • +$2.06B → education_spending (Education Spending) via gdp_growth_rate
  • +$1.82B → federal_budget_balance (Federal Budget Balance) via federal_spending
  • +$1.69B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via education_spending

Causal effects: 5 downstream variables affected (0 immediate)

Divergence after: 0.344

Variable changes

  • education_spending: 165 → 180

Proposed policy move

education_spending: 165 → 180 (▲ 15)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
