Annual data tracks the outcomes of clients who completed Ontario's Employment Service program between April 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023. The dataset includes employment outcomes at program completion and three months later, with a subset analysis for clients receiving Ontario Works or Ontario Disability Support Program income. A technical dictionary is included with definitions for data fields.
Use Cases
- Evaluate program effectiveness based on employment outcomes at completion and three-month follow-up.
- Compare outcomes between general Employment Service clients and those receiving specific social assistance.
- Assess data completeness challenges based on the note that about 51% of clients did not report their income source.
Strengths
- Includes a technical dictionary with definitions for data fields.
- Provides comparative analysis for specific client subsets (Ontario Works and ODSP recipients).
- Contains longitudinal outcome data measured at two points: program completion and three months later.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- A significant portion of data is missing, as about 51% of clients did not report their primary income source.
