Declining Share of Adults Receiving Training under WIA are Low-Income or Disadvantaged
From Center for Law and Social Policy:
by Abbey Frank and Elisa Minoff. The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) significantly changed the way federally funded job training and employment services are structured, and has impacted who receives training under the program. In particular, the share of training recipients who are low-income or have barriers to employment has dropped since WIA was enacted. This paper examines the data, considers some possible explanations for this decline, and offers recommendations for WIA reauthorization and state and local action to increase the share of training resources directed to adults who are low-income, single parents, or have other barriers to finding and keeping employment. Pub No. 05-54. 8 pages. Read more from this post.
