Has the new deal in Scotland helped young people out on unemployment and into jobs?
Has the new deal in Scotland helped young people out on unemployment and into jobs?
The New Deal for Young People (NDYP) in Scotland has
significantly increased outflows from long-term unemployment
for both young men and young women. This
increase is primarily the result of young people leaving
unemployment during the Gateway stage of NDYP and of
the take-up of NDYP options. We find no evidence of any
detrimental effect of the NDYP on those not participating
in the programme. The magnitude of the overall NDYP
effect on outflows is larger for females than for males in
Scotland, and larger for both genders than the UK
average suggested by previous studies. In other words,
the NDYP in Scotland appears to have been more
effective in helping the young unemployed out of
unemployment than for some other parts of the UK,
particularly for young women.

Abstract
The New Deal for Young People (NDYP) in Scotland has
significantly increased outflows from long-term unemployment
for both young men and young women. This
increase is primarily the result of young people leaving
unemployment during the Gateway stage of NDYP and of
the take-up of NDYP options. We find no evidence of any
detrimental effect of the NDYP on those not participating
in the programme. The magnitude of the overall NDYP
effect on outflows is larger for females than for males in
Scotland, and larger for both genders than the UK
average suggested by previous studies. In other words,
the NDYP in Scotland appears to have been more
effective in helping the young unemployed out of
unemployment than for some other parts of the UK,
particularly for young women.
