Benefits that Last: Long-Term Impact and Cost-Benefit Findings for Year Up
Presented by Dr. David Fein, Principal Associate, Social & Economic Policy, Abt Associates
This report provides seven-year findings on the impacts and net societal benefits of Year Up, a training program for young adults aged 18-24 with high school credentials. The period it covers extends beyond the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, affording an opportunity to compare the ensuing economic downturn’s effects on treatment and control group members.
