Abstract
The Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) was a cash transfer worth up to £1,200 per year, paid to 16- to 19-year-olds from low-income households conditional on post-compulsory education participation. The EMA was intended to help achieve the government’s priority of closing the gap in attainment between those from poorer and more affluent backgrounds, and ensuring 16- to 19-year-olds participate in and benefit from a place in education or training. It was introduced in 2004 and was found to be reasonably successful in raising participation amongst those eligible for the award; Dearden et al. (2009) estimate that the EMA increased Year 12 participation by 4.5 percentage points amongst this group.
