This report published by the UK Department for Work and Pensions presents new and positive findings on the effects of Britain’s Employment Retention and Advancement (ERA) Demonstration. ERA offered a combination of job coaching and financial incentives to encourage low-income individuals to sustain employment and progress in work. After two years, single parents participating in the program entered work more quickly than their control group counterparts, were more likely to work 30 or more hours per week, and increased their average earnings.
