Effective Job Search Practice in the UK's Mandatory Welfare-to-Work Programme for Youth

PSI Research Discussion Series from Policy Studies Institute, UK

Abstract: Administrative data from the UK’s main welfare-to-work programme for unemployed and disadvantaged youth is analysed to identify differences in practice between local delivery areas, and to assess their effects on off-welfare outcomes. The findings reveal important similarities in the nature of effective ‘work first’ practices between this programme and some US programmes, despite large differences in the welfare context and systems.
