Understanding the persistence and duration of benefit receipt

Abstract

"Our paper is the first to study the determinants of welfare benefit receipt including the previous duration of welfare receipt in Germany. In line with previous international evidence, we find that demographic characteristics and individual labour market resources are important for leaving welfare." (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku) ((en))
