Welfare to Work Evaluation Report
Welfare to Work was introduced in July 2006 to increase workforce participation and reduce welfare dependence among working age income support recipients and in particular for people in four target groups - principal carers, people with disability, mature age job seekers, and the very long-term unemployed. The Welfare to Work Evaluation Report assesses the effectiveness of Welfare to Work in meeting these objectives.
Covering information about Welfare to Work during its first year - from 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007 - it summarises the policy changes, presents results from analyses undertaken to assess the effectiveness of Welfare to Work as a package and examines individual components including participation in services, the compliance framework, attitudes of employers to hiring people in the Welfare to Work target groups and Job Capacity Assessments.
