Jugendarbeitslosigkeit
Trotz eines Rückgangs ist die EU-Jugendarbeitslosenquote nach wie vor sehr hoch. Laut EU-Kommission sind derzeit 4,5 Millionen junge Menschen (im Alter von 15 bis 24 Jahren) arbeitslos. Einem großen Teil dieser Generation droht durch fehlende Zukunftsperspektiven soziale Ausgrenzung mit weitreichenden Folgen. Mit Maßnahmen wie der Europäischen Ausbildungsallianz und Jugendgarantien der Länder soll entgegengesteuert werden.
Diese Infoplattform bietet einen Einblick in die Literatur zu den Determinanten von und Strategien gegen Jugendarbeitslosigkeit auf nationaler wie internationaler Ebene.

Youth-oriented active labour market policies and economic crisis: Explaining policy effort in Greece and Portugal (2019)

Abstract
Der Ausgangspunkt dieser Studie ist die Umsetzung scheinbar ähnlicher jugendorientierter Arbeitsmarktmaßnahmen in Griechenland und Portugal. Beide Länder litten unter einer hohen Jugendarbeitslosigkeit und sahen sich gezwungen, ihren Arbeitsmarkt im Rahmen der Rettungspakete, die während der Staatsschuldenkrise in Europa verabschiedet wurden, zu restrukturieren. Trotz vieler Gemeinsamkeiten der politischen Gestaltung ergaben sich bei den Beschäftigungsergebnissen beträchtliche Unterschiede. Die Politik für die Jugend war in Portugal zielgerichteter und besser strukturiert. Ihre Umsetzung war wirksamer, und von Beginn der Krise an wurden die Sozialpartner eingebunden. In Griechenland hingegen wurde die Dynamik der jugendorientierten politischen Maßnahmen durch Mängel in der politischen Gestaltung, durch administrative Schwächen und durch ungünstige makroökonomische Bedingungen gebremst, so dass sich die Unsicherheit für junge Menschen erhöht hat. Diese zwei unterschiedlichen Entwicklungen zeigen, dass ähnliche politische Inhalte manchmal zu sehr unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen führen können. (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Assessing the impact of off- and on-the-job training on employment outcomes: A counterfactual evaluation of the PIPOL program (2019)

Pastore, Francesco & Marco Pompili (2019): Assessing the impact of off- and on-the-job training on employment outcomes. A counterfactual evaluation of the PIPOL program. (GLO discussion paper / Global Labor Organization 333), Maastricht, 27 S.
Abstract
"This evaluation study aims to assess the impact of PIPOL, an integrated program of active labor policies, on the employment integration of benefit recipients. To address the issue, we have resorted to a counterfactual approach with data from two main sources: the program administration and compulsory communications on employment and unemployment spells. We found a net impact of +5pp on average; we found positive effects for on-the-job training, but no impact for off-the-job training. On-the-job training also affects the probability to find permanent work (+3pp). This is consistent with the view that young people have excellent theoretical, but very little work-related competences. Off-the-job training does affect the probability to experience at least one labor contract after 2016. These results are partly due to a lock-in effect, namely the tendency of those who attend training programs to delay their job search. Interestingly, we found that the program has a different impact for different typologies of recipients and different types of intervention. In a nutshell, active labor policy works when it generates work-related competences." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Heterogeneous earnings effects of the job corps by gender: A translated quantile approach (2019)

Abstract
"Several studies of the Job Corps tend to find more positive earnings effects for males than for females. This effect heterogeneity favouring males contrasts with the results of the majority of other training programmes’ evaluations. Applying the translated quantile approach of Bitler, Hoynes, and Domina (2014), I investigate a potential mechanism behind the surprising findings for the Job Corps. My results provide suggestive evidence that the effect of heterogeneity by gender operates through existing gender earnings inequality rather than Job Corps trainability differences."

Unemployment among younger and older individuals: does conventional data about unemployment tell us the whole story? (2018)

Axelrad, Hila, Miki Malul & Israel Luski (2018): Unemployment among younger and older individuals. Does conventional data about unemployment tell us the whole story? In: Journal for labour market research, Jg. 52, H. 1, S. 1-12. DOI:10.1186/s12651-018-0237-9
Abstract
"In this research we show that workers aged 30 - 44 were significantly more likely than those aged 45 - 59 to find a job a year after being unemployed. The main contribution is demonstrating empirically that since older workers' difficulties are related to their age, while for younger individuals the difficulties are more related to the business cycle, policy makers must devise different programs to address unemployment among young and older individuals. The solution to youth unemployment is the creation of more jobs, and combining differential minimum wage levels and earned income tax credits might improve the rate of employment for older individuals."

Young people and the labour market: a comparative perspective (2018)

Caroleo, Floro Ernesto, Olga Demidova, Enrico Marelli & Marcello Signorelli (Hrsg.) (2018): Young people and the labour market. A comparative perspective. (Routledge Studies in labour economics), Abingdon: Routledge, 266 S.
Abstract
"Young people are a vulnerable category of workers, finding themselves in a delicate phase of their working life: their first entry into the labour market. In many European countries, youngsters are unemployed or have difficulty finding and obtaining jobs. This situation has deteriorated particularly after the crises, recessions and stagnation that has impacted European economies in recent years. In addition to the cyclical or crisis impact, structural factors are also very important. Additionally, prolonged crises, as in some Eurozone countries, have transformed a significant part of cyclical unemployment in structural (long term) unemployment.
Young People and the Labour Market: A Comparative Perspective explores the condition of young people in the labour market. The authors present new evidence from several countries, with a special focus on Europe, and offer a comparative perspective. They investigate questions such as which structural conditions and labour market institutions guarantee better youth performance, which education systems and school-to-work processes are more effective and in which countries is gender differentiation less of an issue. All of the aforementioned, as well as many other comparisons which the authors make, are significant in helping to facilitate the successful design of labour and education policies."

Abstract
"Seit vielen Jahren wird im Fachdiskurs die Herausforderung betont, dass keine jungen Menschen in Deutschland verloren gehen und durch die Maschen des Sozialleistungssystems fallen dürfen. Vor diesem Hintergrund fördert das Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales (BMAS) seit dem Jahr 2015 das Bundesprogramm RESPEKT. In diesem Rahmen wurden bundesweit 18 Projekte (ab 2018: 17 Projekte) gefördert. Zielsetzung ist junge Menschen, die individuelle Schwierigkeiten haben eine Qualifikation zu erreichen oder ins Arbeitsleben einzumünden und von den bestehenden Sozialleistungsangeboten nicht erreicht werden oder diese nicht annehmen, an Bildungsprozesse, Maßnahmen der Arbeitsförderung, Ausbildung oder Arbeit heranzuführen.
Die Evaluation des Bundesprogramms wurde von der INTERVAL GmbH in Kooperation mit dem ZEP - Zentrum für Evaluation und Politikberatung zwischen Ende 2016 und Juni 2018 durchgeführt. Dabei wurden untersucht:
- die Bedarfslagen und Merkmale der Zielgruppe, speziell auch die Gründe, aus denen sie nicht von den Sozialleistungen erreicht werden;
- die inhaltliche Ausgestaltung des Hilfsangebots der geförderten Projekte, inkl. der Fragen zum Zugang zur Zielgruppe und zur Gestaltung der Kooperationen und Leistungen dritter Akteure zur Unterstützung der Teilnehmenden sowie
- die Erreichung der Zielsetzungen des Programms.
Auf Basis der Ergebnisse wurden Hinweise zur Gestaltung des § 16h SGB II ('Förderung schwer zu erreichender junger Menschen') geliefert." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku) -

From Job-seekers to Self-searchers: Changing Contexts and Understandings of School-to-work Transitions (2018)

Abstract
"This article sheds new light on a key topic in youth research over recent decades; how young people often rely on individualistic frames of interpretation in understanding their own lives. Based on biographical interviews with two cohorts of skilled men in Norway, the article demonstrates relations between historically specific institutional contexts and the ways in which people understand their school-to-work transitions. Whereas the older cohort accounted for their transitions as embedded processes, the younger cohort, who entered the same occupations three decades later, viewed their transitions as determined by self-searching in institutionalized choice situations. The wider implication of this is that the vocabulary fostered by contemporary transition contexts may invite researchers to overemphasize discrete moments ruptured from process, and thus obscure the dynamic relations between history and biography (Mills, 1959). A life course perspective, with its emphasis on transitions as contextualized processes, represents a viable theoretical alternative." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This article analyses the influence of unemployed parents' further vocational training on their children's future apprenticeship and employment opportunities. We focus on households receiving means-tested benefits in Germany and investigate whether parents' further vocational training helps avoid an intergenerational transmission of unemployment. Parents' further vocational training can affect children's future apprenticeship and employment opportunities directly, for instance by raising the value attributed to education and training within the family. Indirect effects via parents' improved employment opportunities are possible as well. The sample consists of adolescents who were 14 - 17 years old when their parents participated in a further vocational training programme. We evaluate apprenticeship and employment outcomes for the young adults at ages 17 - 23 using entropy balancing methods on the basis of rich large-scale register data. Our findings indicate significantly positive effects of parents' further vocational training on children's apprenticeship enrolment but non-significant or negative effects on children's regular employment at young ages. Moreover, mediation analysis gives evidence that these effects are partly mediated via an increase in parents' own employment opportunities. Overall, our analyses indicate that parents' further vocational training improves the qualifications of the next generation as well." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

The effects of youth labor market reforms: evidence from Italian apprenticeships (2017)

Albanese, Andrea, Lorenzo Cappellari & Marco Leonardi (2017): The effects of youth labor market reforms. Evidence from Italian apprenticeships. (CESifo working paper 6481), München, 32 S.
Abstract
"This paper estimates the causal effects of the 2003 reform of the Italian apprenticeship contract which aimed at introducing the 'dual system' in Italy by allowing on-the-job training. The reform also increased the age eligibility of the apprenticeship contract and introduced a minimum floor to apprentices' wages. Using administrative data and balancing techniques we find that five years after hiring, the new contract improves the chances of moving to a permanent job in the same firm, yet this happens mostly in large firms. There are also sizeable long-run wage effects of the reform, well beyond the legal duration of apprenticeships, compatible with increased human capital accumulation probably due to the training provisions of the reform."

Youth education and employment: recent Danish reform experiences (2017)

Andersen, Torben M. (2017): Youth education and employment. Recent Danish reform experiences. In: CESifo forum, Jg. 18, H. 2, S. 47-51.
Abstract
"Youth unemployment has both individual and societal costs, which makes it a major policy challenge. It is well established that entry into the labour market is of crucial importance for later labour market trajectories. This has both a business cycle and a structural component; employment rates for youth are generally more cyclically sensitive than for other age groups, and youth entering the labour market with weak qualifications are particularly vulnerable throughout their working career. In the wake of the financial crisis, all OECD countries experienced an increase in youth unemployment, but even before the crisis, the share of youth in neither employment, education nor training was high in many countries. Youth not acquiring relevant labour market qualifications are a major challenge, since they belong to a group with a high risk of becoming marginalised throughout their working lives a risk which is not diminishing given technological change, globalisation etc. While the NEET rate in Denmark is below the OECD average, it has been on an upward trend. Although there has been much focus on the so-called Danish flexicurity model's ability to attain a low unemployment rate, the issue of youth entering the labour market with weak qualifications is a challenge, also in a Danish context.

Bacher, Johann, Christina Koblbauer, Heinz Leitgöb & Dennis Tamesberger (2017): Small differences matter: How regional distinctions in educational and labour market policy account for heterogeneity in NEET rates. In: Journal for labour market research, Jg. 51, H. 1, S. 1-20. DOI:10.1186/s12651-017-0232-6
Abstract
"Labour market and education policy makers and researchers are increasingly focusing on the NEET indicator as a supplement to the youth unemployment rate. Analyses of factors influencing NEET have concentrated primarily on individual characteristics such as gender and migration background on one hand, and on macro-level factors of nations such as economic growth and minimum wage regulations on the other. However, nations are not homogenous, especially when a country is divided into several federal states, as is the case with Austria. This article aims to analyse regional differences within Austria. In order to explain the differences, we define a multilevel model that contains four contextual factors: the importance of upper secondary education; the importance of dual education; vacant jobs; and expenditures for active labour market policy. Because the institutional level addresses different age groups, the analysis was split into two age groups: 15 - 19 and 20 - 24 years. The results have shown that, besides the social structure of the population, contextual factors like the upper secondary education, the dual education, vacant jobs, and expenditures for active labour market policy are also relevant for explaining regional differences in the NEET rates. But one main insight was that the impact of the contextual factors varies between different social groups." (Author's abstract, © Springer-Verlag) ((en))

Preventing NEETs during the Great Recession: The effects of a mandatory activation program for young welfare recipients (2017)

Cammeraat, Emile, Egbert Jongen & Pierre Koning (2017): Preventing NEETs during the Great Recession. The effects of a mandatory activation program for young welfare recipients. (IZA discussion paper 11090), Bonn, 55 S.
Abstract
"We study the impact of a mandatory activation program for young welfare recipients in the Netherlands. Introduced at the end of 2009, the goal of the program was to prevent so-called NEETs (individuals not in employment, education or training). We use a large administrative data set for the period 1999-2012 and employ differences-in-differences and regression discontinuity to estimate the effects of the reform. We find that the reform reduced the number of NEETs on welfare, increased the number of NEETs not on welfare, and had no effect on the overall number of NEETs. Our finding that the reform did not reduce the total number of NEETs contrasts with previous studies, which may be due to the fact that the reform took place during a severe economic recession."

Strategies to improve labour market integration of young people: comparing policy coordination in nine European countries (2017)

Dingeldey, Irene, Marie-Luise Assmann & Lisa Steinberg (2017): Strategies to improve labour market integration of young people. Comparing policy coordination in nine European countries. (NEGOTIATE working paper 8.2), Oslo, 55 S.
Abstract
"The analysis is based on nine in-depth country studies including Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Greece, Germany, Poland, Spain, the UK and two non-EU countries; Norway and Switzerland, which serve as a reference group.
The empirical research makes use of both primary and secondary sources, as well as four to six expert interviews per country to identify different types of youth employment regimes and strategies used to implement the respective policies.
The introduction of the Youth Guarantee (YG) was met with high expectations. Since the economic crisis youth unemployment has significantly increased. It was accompanied by a flexibilisation of employment forms and the lowering of youth wages, both attempts to facilitate integration in the labour market. Hence, it was up to the YG to address existing problems vis-à-vis young people entering the labour market, and to improve policy coordination." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en)) -

Youth-oriented Active Labour Market Policies: Explaining Policy Effort in the Nordic and the Baltic States (2017)

Abstract
"The starting point of this study is the seemingly striking similarity in the number of youth-oriented labour market policies adopted by the Nordic and the Baltic EU member states in 2013 - 14 despite markedly different welfare regimes. The similarities remain when concentrating on active labour market policies (ALMPs) and extending the observation period to 2007 - 15, but the application of a more refined coding scheme suggests that there are also notable cross-country differences. Estonia, Finland and Sweden are found to exhibit a relatively similar approach to youth-oriented ALMPs, while Denmark, Latvia and Lithuania are more distinct cases. The similarities in the policy effort can be explained by similar problem pressure, EU-guided policy learning and the provision of EU funding. Lastly, the policy approaches of the Nordic states indicate a path-dependency. Thus, while the youth-oriented policy effort may appear to be quite similar, important differences remain."

Abstract
"Since the economic crisis in 2008, European youth unemployment rates have been persistently high at around 20% on average. The majority of European countries spends significant resources each year on active labor market programs (ALMP) with the aim of improving the integration prospects of struggling youths. Among the most common programs used are training courses, job search assistance and monitoring, subsidized employment, and public work programs. For policy makers, it is of upmost importance to know which of these programs work and which are able to achieve the intended goals - may it be the integration into the first labor market or further education. Based on a detailed assessment of the particularities of the youth labor market situation, we discuss the pros and cons of different ALMP types. We then provide a comprehensive survey of the recent evidence on the effectiveness of these ALMP for youth in Europe, highlighting factors that seem to promote or impede their effectiveness in practice. Overall, the findings with respect to employment outcomes are only partly promising. While job search assistance (with and without monitoring) results in overwhelmingly positive effects, we find more mixed effects for training and wage subsidies, whereas the effects for public work programs are clearly negative. The evidence on the impact of ALMP on furthering education participation as well as employment quality is scarce, requiring additional research and allowing only limited conclusions so far."

Abstract
"This article explores the way in which government policy shapes the lives of young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET). In particular it examines how the concept of NEETs is set within a specific infrastructure and discourse for managing and supporting young people. The article provides a brief history of the NEET concept and NEET initiatives, before moving on to scrutinise the policies of the Coalition Government. A key distinction is made between those policies and practices that seek to prevent young people becoming NEET from those that seek to re-engage those who are NEET. It is argued that the Coalition has drawn on a similar active labour market toolkit to the previous Labour administration, but that this has been implemented with fewer resources and less co-ordination. It concludes that there is little reason to believe that Coalition policy will be any more successful than that of the previous government, and some reason to be concerned that it will lead to young people becoming more entrenched within NEET."
