Moving People from Welfare to Work
Lessons from the National Evaluation of Welfare-to-Work Strategies
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of Education.
2002. Gayle Hamilton.
This report distills lessons from the National Evaluation of Welfare-to-Work Strategies (NEWWS) with a focus on the effectiveness of employment-focused versus education-focused programs in helping people move from welfare to work. Distinguished by its large geographical and human scale, long follow-up period, and rigorous random assignment design, NEWWS measured the effects of different program approaches on outcomes ranging from employment, welfare receipt, and income to educational attainment, family circumstances, and children. Concise and accessible, this synthesis reviews the key findings and discusses their implications for current issues in the welfare debate, such as what level of work participation to require of welfare recipients.

2002. Johannes M. Bos, Susan Scrivener, Jason Snipes, Gayle Hamilton with Christine Schwartz, Johanna Walter.
Since the early 1980s, welfare policymakers and program operators have debated the role of adult education in program strategies to help welfare recipients make the transition from welfare to work. This report addresses key questions about how welfare-to-work programs that emphasize adult education activities affect the educational and economic outcomes of welfare recipients.

How best to help people move from welfare to work — particularly whether an employment-focused approach or an education-focused approach is more effective — has been a subject of long-standing debate. This report summary, which describes the long-term effects of 11 different mandatory welfare-to-work programs for single parents and their children, takes a major step toward resolving this debate.
