"The findings from this report are based on 170 qualitative interviews with individuals that had joined the Employment Retention and Advancement (ERA) programme. Respondents included both lone parents and the long term unemployed. This report is not an evaluation of the ERA programme but focuses on participants' views of retention and advancement. The report explores individuals' orientations to work and how these affect employment sustainability and progression. It also explores the factors prohibiting work retention and advancement. This research therefore provides a foundation for understanding the receptivity of low-paid workers to interventions aimed at improving their labour market position."
