Abstract

This project analyses the effectiveness of active labour market policies on the integration of refugees who came to Germany from 2015. It answers the questions of how effective and efficient the central employment measures of SGB II and SGB III are for refugees with regard to their labor market integration and social participation, and which factors, such as language support and individual and local context factors, strengthen or inhibit the effectiveness of the measures. The analysis is based on administrative data which is complemented by survey data and a comprehensive implementation analysis. This projekt is financed by  the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.
