This report is the third volume of a Cedefop study on developing EU standards for monitoring and evaluating lifelong guidance systems and services, expanding the evidence base on outcomes and impacts of career development support. It aims at generating better understanding of the costs of publicly financed measures connected to career development and career guidance for adults.

The report is explorative, highlighting the limitations of the sources reviewed and the difficulties in collecting and exploring data on costs related to career development activities. In providing insights on inputs, investments and outputs in career services involving guidance, it makes a link between the findings in relation to intended outcomes and impacts of similar measures and approaches to monitoring and evaluation in lifelong guidance studied in Volumes I and II.
