Data from the second longitudinal follow-up survey of the Community Employment Innovation Project (CEIP) are available today.
The CEIP is a long-term research and demonstration project managed by the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC), whose data collection is conducted jointly with Statistics Canada. The project is testing an alternative form of government support for the unemployed in areas of chronic high unemployment, and aims to improve employability while supporting community development. The CEIP offered up to three years of employment in community-based projects, which provided participants with a significant period of stable earned income and an opportunity to gain varied work experience, acquire new skills, and expand their contact networks.
Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 4445.
The report, "Improving Skills, Networks, and Livelihoods through Community-Based Work: Three-Year Impacts of the Community Employment Innovation Project", published by the SRDC, is available today.
