So I've only just looked at new HMRC Job Retention stats, published Wednesday. Really interesting data by age. Shows clearly the huge impacts on young - esp. 16-18s - but also upward slope among late 50s/ early 60s. 1/ gov.uk/government/sta…

Adam Whitworth Sheffield Geography and Elle Carter highlight the UK's ongoing experimentation in employment support quasi-markets, asking are we evolving or merely iterating? #deepdive #SOC20

As mentioned today in the Special Issues panel at #SOC20 @ukgolab Free OA Editorial of Public Money and Management - Futures in #SocialInvestment - Whither Social Impact Bonds? #socialimpactbonds #SIBs Elle Carter Toby Lowe @JKimmitt @dralecfraser tandfonline.com/toc/rpmm20/40/…

Great to see detailed examples now on Kickstart webpage for how govt will assess whether jobs are additional, and the employability support for young ppl. Both are key. Missing piece tho is a clear statement and examples on job quality... 1/ gov.uk/guidance/apply…

Great to have Dr Eleanor Carter from @ukgolab Blavatnik School of Government join us for today’s @EvidenceQuarter seminar!

#KickstartScheme There are 54k 16-17 year olds not in education, employment or training but only around 12k of the same age group are on Universal Credit - so what about the other 42,000 who are NEET?

Today we are extremely proud to announce 101 new Future Leaders Fellowships, supported through an investment of £109 million, tackling challenges from cancer treatment to space travel. /1

I've written a personal piece, reflecting as Dominic Cummings leaves No.10, about the importance of kindness in social science and public policy. "Remember, hate is always foolish, and love is always wise. Always try to be nice and never fail to be kind."

So right in time to announce new help for long-term unemployed - evidence from DWP that the Work Programme had pretty big positive impacts. H/T Adam Coutts. Quick thread. gov.uk/government/pub… Key finding here - fewer days on benefit, more days in work, more doing neither. 1/

We're looking for #policymakers and #data lovers to join us in tackling pressing policy challenges in the field of #socialoutcomes. | Join us for our bi-annual #HackandLearn to make better sense of the use of data. #indigoinitiative golab.bsg.ox.ac.uk/community/even…

Great to see the Restart tender results published today. gov.uk/government/pub… Reminder, this is the £2.9bn programme for supporting long-term unemployed people, announced in Plan for Jobs last year. Eight of the 14 shortlisted suppliers successful... 1/

But look here - signs for first time today that the Department agrees! This is them "in their own words" to NAO on their top priorities for future. Disability, health, inequalities, progression. Great to see - now need HMT to get behind this at Spending Review too. 3/

So Torsten Bell has a great thread on madness of benefit cuts. I'll just add one graph We have pretty much the least generous system in the *world* - is nonsense to suggest ppl are 'incentivised' to stay at home. Need to do far more to help ppl into work, not cut benefits further

Join us on Weds, 19th Oct 2pm for a fascinating discussion of the findings from the UK's Commissioning Better #Outcomes (CBO) Fund. How do the CBO #SIBs vary from the 'textbook' SIB model and what do their different features mean for implementation? golab.bsg.ox.ac.uk/community/even…
