Abstract | California established its Work Incentive (WIN) Program to help enrollees earn an income sufficient to free them and their families from dependency on welfare. In evaluating the effectiveness of the program, this study sought to determine why enrollees terminate prematurely from their program and discontinue their employability plans. The study also analyzes personal attributes and history of the enrollee as they bear upon his decision-making process. Based on three interviews with each of the 360 active WIN participants, findings of the study include: (1) Initially 61 percent of the enrollees stated they had a job goal, (2) Proportionately, the males and the marrieds were absent from the program twice as often as the females and the not marrieds, (3) A direct linear relationship exists between the enrollee's clear understanding of his objective and job goal and his retention in the program, and (4) At the time of the third interview, questions about the clarity of job goal, satisfaction with it, and how it compared with prior jobs failed to distinguish dropouts from those who remained. Also included in this report are recommendations and related discussions. (JS) |
