Abstract
Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.
This study is the first stage of a two-stage quantitative survey looking at the impact of the <i>New Deal for Young People</i> (NDYP) on participants (the other part of the survey is not yet held at UKDA).
The two overarching objectives of the research were to look at how the various components of the programme helped young unemployed people into jobs and increased their long term employability. The first part of the research aimed to:
collect attitudinal data on work motivation, orientation and aspiration, as well as jobsearch behaviour;
collect information on earnings for those in employment;
establish benchmark measures for employability to be used in the more detailed Stage 2 research.
Main Topics:
The dataset contains demographic details, information on <i>New Deal</i> history, participants' experiences and views of the programme so far, experiences of training, jobsearch behaviour, attitudinal measures related to job motivation, educational history, and recent employment history.
Standard Measures
Likert Scale for attitudinal questions
1-9 scale for statement agreement
Social Classification.
