ERA was launched in 2003 to test the effectiveness of a package of in-work support and financial incentives, in helping customers sustain and progress in employment. ERA has been evaluated using a Random Assignment research design, in which customers were randomly allocated to either a programme group, that received ERA services, or a control group that did not. Outcomes for both groups are compared, to determine the impacts. ERA was aimed at customers who have difficulty in keeping full time work, or advancing to more secure and better paid positions. This report presents findings for customers that were on New Deal 25 Plus (ND25+) when they entered the study.
Research Report 520, Implementation and second-year impacts for New Deal 25 Plus in the UK Employment and Advancement (ERA) demonstration is published on 26th August 2008. The report is available on the DWP website and hard copies can be obtained from Paul Noakes, Room 4-26, The Adelphi, 1-11 John Adam Street, London WC2N 6HT.
