Details

Report of analysis commissioned by BIS to improve the current assessment of deadweight loss in the further education and skills arena. Deadweight loss is defined as the extent to which government-funded training generates outcomes that are not additional to what would have occurred in the absence of such provision. It explains the concepts, models data at firm level, explains the results and makes recommendations.
