Findings from the Macro Evaluation of the New Deal for Young People
Michael White and Rebecca Riley
The New Deal for Young People has been evaluated through a wide range of research projects. This report summarises results from one of the main groups of research projects, which is the macro evaluation. The macro evaluation was concerned with establishing both the direct effects of NDYP in terms of increasing employment and lowering unemployment, and its wider effects on the labour market and the economy. Its main aim was to estimate the impact of NDYP as comprehensively as possible, taking account of effects that went beyond the immediate participants.
