This paper exunines the isslrc of welfcne recidiuism m Toronto. Afeer reviewing the auailable literature - both in ter-ms of tndiuidual experiences ad. the broader bbow market context - the paper reports on the findings of a telephone suruey of social assistance Ieauers conducted inToronto in 2005.

Typical employment. interq.tentrons a'e shown to be krgely ineffecnue in preuenting retums to asslstance . Additional finarcial assistance , employment md medical bcncfits arc aII shown to haqte positivc effects. A rcmge of meanues described as beyond work-first (firuncial incenti,Des and supports, case m(magement, employer-based strategies, and greater access to education cmd training both before and after employment) offer some fn'omise of inueasing job retention and reducing recidiq,'ism. Howeuer, there is also a need to question the asswnPtion tfutt. retLLms to assistctnce reflect a policy failwe. While the goal must be on sustained ernployment, quicl<er re-application processes withfater access to progralns and seruices will reduce costs and the loss of ma'kewble skills . As with a broaiened anay of supports , such a chcmge woukl prouide euidence of a social assistrn'tce system thnt is responsirte to both shifting labow market realities, as well as the chcmging needs of vulnerabb groups .

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
