This March 2022 webinar highlighted findings from a meta-analysis that synthesized more than 220 programs and 300 studies reviewed by the Pathways to Work Evidence Clearinghouse to provide practitioners, policymakers, and researchers with new insights into the evidence on what programs boost employment and earnings for people with low incomes. Panelists described how practitioners and policymakers can use the findings to best meet the needs of populations with low income who are seeking gainful employment. The panelists also shared insights on the three primary questions asked in the meta-analysis:
- What programs work to improve the employment and earnings of people with low incomes?
- Do the programs work best for particular groups of people? If so, which groups?
- In what contexts do programs appear to be most successful?
