This book was released on 2007-03-27 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This strategy document sets out the measures the Department for Work and Pensions intends to take to help achieve the Government's target to eradicate child poverty by 2020, based on the principle that improving employment opportunities for parents is the most sustainable route out of poverty for themselves and their children. These measures follow on from the 2007 Budget statement (HCP 342, session 2006-07; ISBN 9780102944556) and form part of the Government's cross-departmental strategy to tackle child poverty through a whole range of policy areas, including tax and benefits, health and housing, childcare and education. Measures announced include: i) extending the New Deal Plus for Lone Parents (NDLP Plus) to March 2011 and to cover all lone parents in London, and to extend key elements of this support programme to two-parent families on benefit in the current pilot areas and throughout London; ii) extending the In-Work Credit for Lone Parents scheme (which provides an extra £40 per week for lone parents moving into work in 40 per cent of the country, including most of London) until June 2008 and to increase the rate payable in London to £60; iii) pilot schemes to link the In-Work Credit to adviser support to promote retention in work for lone parents, based on the Employment Retention and Advancement model; and iv) a major expansion of work-focused English as a Second Language provision, delivered through the cities strategy pilots in East and West London.

Download or read book Are Participants Good Evaluators? written by Jeffrey Smith and published by W.E. Upjohn Institute. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managers of workforce training programs are often unable to afford costly, full-fledged experimental or nonexperimental evaluations to determine their programs’ impacts. Therefore, many rely on the survey responses of program participants to gauge program impacts. Smith, Whalley, and Wilcox present the first attempt to assess such measures despite their already widespread use in program evaluations. They develop a multidisciplinary framework for addressing the issue and apply it to three case studies: the National Job Training Partnership Act Study, the U.S. National Supported Work Demonstration, and the Connecticut Jobs First Program. Each of these studies were subjected to experimental evaluations that included a survey-based participant evaluation measure. The authors apply econometric methods specifically developed to obtain estimates of program impacts among individuals in the studies and then compare these estimates with survey-based participant evaluation measures to obtain an assessment of the surveys’ efficacy. The authors also discuss how their findings fit into the broader literatures in economics, psychology, and survey research.

Download or read book The Welfare We Want? written by Walker, Robert and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2003-05-21 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the UK, both Conservative and New Labour welfare strategies have been influenced by American policies. British welfare reform has continued in recent years, while American policies appear to have stagnated. What now are the lessons of British reform for America? The welfare we want? presents a detailed and unique comparison of welfare policies in the two countries. A team of international experts outlines, compares and contrasts the reform strategies pursued in each country and summarises the results to date. The editors argue that recent American reforms have failed to address key problems but that British ideas could refresh the American policy agenda. Moreover, both systems would gain from increased transatlantic policy dialogue.
