Using Behavioral Insights to Improve Take-up of a Reemployment Program

Abstract

This publication reports findings of the Mathematica Policy Research's Behavioral Interventions project for the U.S. Department of Labor, which explored how insights from behavioral science could be used to improve the performance and outcomes of DOL programs. It tested three behavioral trials in selected Labor programs including the Employment and Training Administration, in collaboration with Michigan Works! Southwest and the W.E. Upjohn Institute, which sought to help unemployed workers become reemployed.
