Education Maintenance Allowance : the first year : a quantitative evaluation
online resource
posted on 2006-11-14, 11:08 authored by Karl Ashworth, Jay Hardman, Woon-Chia Liu, Sue Maguire, Sue Middleton, Lorraine Dearden, Carl Emmerson, Christine Frayne, Alissa Goodman, Hidehiko Ichimura, Costas MeghirThe Department for Education and Employment (DfEE) has commissioned a consortium of
organisations to evaluate the piloting of Education Maintenance Allowances (EMAs). The
consortium, led by the Centre for Research in Social Policy (CRSP), includes the National
Centre for Social Research, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and the Institute for
Employment Research (IER).
This report contains results from the first wave of quantitative interviews with young people
and their parents following the introduction of EMA. This chapter first describes the policy
context for EMA and its structure and coverage. This is followed by a brief description of the
overall evaluation and of the design of the quantitative element. Chapter 2 then contains
descriptive analysis of some of the characteristics of young people in the survey. In addition
to providing information about previously under-researched areas, this chapter also provides
a context for the analyses in Chapter 5. Chapter 3 continues the descriptive theme,
examining young people’s intentions about their future after the end of compulsory schooling
and their actual destinations. It focuses on the group of young people who, at the time of
interview, were not in education, employment or training (NEET) – a group currently of
major concern to policy makers and on whom it was hoped EMA might have a major impact
(see further, below). Chapter 4 describes in detail the methodological approach adopted to
estimate the effect of EMA on participation in post-16 education. Finally, Chapter 5 contains
the results of the statistical modelling of the effect of EMA on participation rates, amongst
eligible young people in full-time education.
