This paper looks at the impact of Opportunity Bursaries on young adults who received payments in 2001–02 and 2002–03. Both linear regression and propensity score matching techniques are used to compare to outcomes of individuals in receipt of an Opportunity Bursary with those who were eligible for the policy but not able to receive it since only a limited number were available.
