Easing Transition to Work
Research Report No. 175
By Tim Harries and Kandy Woodfield
This qualitative study explores the transitional period between leaving benefit and starting full-time employment, considering clients' perceptions and experiences of moving into work, and the effectiveness of key work incentive measures such as Job Grant, Lone-Parent Benefit Run-on and Housing Benefit Run-on. The study is based on qualitative research with clients who have made the transition into work, and with staff involved in delivering and promoting the measures.
This is the first of two reports examining the transition into work. Results from a quantitative survey exploring client awareness of a range of work incentive measures, and perceptions of the transitional barriers amongst current claimants will be published separately.
