"The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficiency of the ETCP in terms of social benefits and social costs; to measure the incremental employment effect of theprogram; to calculate the cost, from the policy maker's perspective, of creating an incremental work-year of employment; and to determine whether the future employabilityof participants improved. The study uses a data base provided by Employment and Immigration Canada that contains information on the program participants' pre- and postprogram employment and unemployment experiences. The results of the study suggest that, on balance, wage subsidies along the lines of the ETCP should be viewed as a promising policy approach"--Foreword, p. ix.
