Implementation and Second-Year Impacts for New Deal 25 Plus Customers in the UK Employment Retention and Advancement (ERA) Demonstration
UK Department for Work and Pensions
2008. Cynthia Miller, Helen Bewley, Verity Campbell-Barr, Richard Dorsett, Gayle Hamilton, Lesley Hoggart, Tatiana Homonoff, Alan Marsh, Kathryn Ray, James A. Riccio, and Sandra Vegeris.
This report published by the UK Department for Work and Pensions presents new findings on how a postemployment program in Great Britain is affecting the employment, earnings, and benefits receipt of long-term unemployed individuals. The UK ERA program offered a combination of financial incentives and in-work support to help recipients of government benefits who participate in a welfare-to-work program, New Deal 25 Plus, retain jobs and advance in the labor market. The interim evidence presented in this report, covering two years of follow-up, shows that ERA’s effects on employment and earnings for this group, most of whom were men, were limited.
