Policy Target
Back-to-work support services
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Initiatives focused on transition to employment adjust or eliminate work contingencies (e.g., increasing benefits amount based on work, decreasing benefits in a stepwise fashion after compensation).
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Beneficiaries’ perceptions of the effect of removing obligations
- Individual’s satisfaction with the support they received to find their way into workforce
- Rates of temporary suspension of benefits for failure to comply with program requirements
- Monetary fluctuations in social assistance payments to an individual while in the program
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Initiatives analyze not only the effectiveness of work contingencies, but also their impact on each population group, particularly seeking to reveal what kinds of employment disadvantaged groups are finding when re-entering in the workforce.
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Number/percentage of people experiencing disabilities who report not feeling obligated to accept low quality and insecure jobs with reduced benefits for fear of losing social support
- Number/percentage of participants who secure sufficient and sustained employment (e.g., stratified by deprivation level)
- Number/percentage of staff who believe evaluation of individual labour market prospects are fair and match with people’s work-experience and education
- Number/percentage of initiatives with instruments and tools in place to capture people’s feedback on the impact of work contingencies on their trajectories to find well-paid, secure jobs
- Ratio of effectiveness of programs and services with more work contingencies to that of programs and services with less work contingencies in terms of helping people reaching their goals
