Lessons from WIN: A Manpower Evaluation

Abstract

The Work Incentive (WIN) program provides employment, training, and supportive services to welfare recipients. In this paper, the WIN program is evaluated on the basis of: (1) its average net impact on participant earnings and welfare dependency; (2) its relative impact on providing specific services (e.g., OJT, classroom training) to participants with varying work histories; and (3) its average and relative cost effectiveness. It is concluded that WIN has been very effective in serving welfare recipients who have poor work histories, despite the modest average gain observed for the program as a whole; subsidized public employment is singled out as a particularly effective tool for increasing the employment and earnings of welfare recipients.
