伸出援手，成效深远：福利转就业项目参与者的咨询与支持长期效果

摘要

We study the long-term impacts of the Canada Self-Sufficiency Project Plus program, which randomly offered intensive employment support services to long-term welfare recipients eligible for temporary work subsidies. We link study participants to their federal tax and employeremployee matched records for up to 20 years after random assignment. The intensive services treatment led to a 20-27 percent increase in participants’ annual earnings over the 20-year period and increases in full-time employment throughout the first decade post-intervention. As possible mechanisms, individuals engage in more job search and job-to-job transitions and obtain jobs paying higher wages and in higher paying firms.
