The Participation Opportunities Act - History, Objectives and Design of the Funding Instruments

Abstract

"The “Participation Opportunities Act” has been providing the jobcentres with two additional labour market policy instruments since 2019. The objective of both instruments is giving beneficiaries who are particularly distant from the labour market access to jobs. To this end, the wage costs are financed to a large extent by public subsidies. This article outlines the history of the Participation Opportunities Act and discusses the objectives and design of the support instruments created by this Act. It thus introduces the present journal issue, which brings together the results of the scientific evaluation together with perspectives on the further development of the instruments."
