higher earnings for participants
zusätzliche Geld- und Sachleistungen
Program group members also had higher earnings than control group members, earning over $3,433 more than control group members over the course of the year (quarter 0 through quarter 3). Statistically significant earnings impacts were observed in every quarter of the year following random assignment, although the size of the impact peaked during the first quarter after random assignment (when participation in YAIP internships was highest) and dropped steeply thereafter, remaining relatively consistent in the later quarters. The differences in earnings that persisted in the later quarters, along with data from the 12-month survey concerning participants’ current employment, suggest that program group members may have been able to secure better jobs (that is, more permanent positions with full-time hours) than control group members.
Beschreibung der Aktivität
Young Adult Internship Program (YAIP)
Introduced in 2007, YAIP is a workforce development program designed for young New Yorkers living in poverty who are neither in school nor working, but who are believed to have the potential to benefit from a relatively brief, non-intensive intervention. In theory, the YAIP target population is not so disadvantaged that they need extensive wraparound services, but disadvantaged enough to require the support of a program to acquire the skills and experience needed to improve their labor market prospects and give them a “jump start” back into productive activity.

Evaluierung der Aktivität
Quantitative Fragebogenerhebung (schriftlich/offline), Sekundäranalyse von Daten, Dokumenten, audiovisuellen Materialien etc.
The evaluation includes an implementation study, an impact study, and a benefit-cost analysis. This report presents implementation and early impact findings (after one year). The impact study uses a randomized controlled trial design in which individuals eligible for and interested in YAIP were randomly assigned to either a program group, which was offered YAIP services, or to a control group, which was not offered those services. Data sources for the impact study include administrative records on wages and postsecondary enrollment, subsidized employment payroll records, and surveys conducted approximately 4, 12, and 30 months after participants entered the study.
The study will evaluate impacts on employment and earnings, education and training, and well-being, among other areas.
