Education & Job Training

By the end of the program, recipients were 6 percentage points more likely to report plans to pursue further education. This is a 15% increase compared to the average among control participants.
On average, recipients were 3.3 percentage points more likely to have pursued education or job training during the final year of the program—an increase of 14% relative to the average among control participants.
The effects on education were greater for recipients who had the lowest household income at enrollment. During the final year of the program, these recipients were, on average, 25% more likely than their control counterparts to plan further educational attainment and 34% more likely to have participated in education or job training.*
Across all recipients, our findings suggest modest increases in enrollment in education or training programs and degree completion, though most effects are not statistically significant. The impact is strongest for recipients under 30 at the time of enrollment.

*Subgroup analyses are exploratory and we did not conduct a false discovery rate (FDR) adjustment for these estimates. Findings should viewed as suggestive.
