Labour market integration of young welfare recipients: in-firm training increases the employment chances of young welfare recipients

Abstract

"This study analyses the question how diverse active labour market policy measures affect the employment probability and the employment quality of young adults receiving welfare benefits. We measure the outcomes over five years after the beginning of participation in the measure. As for the employment quality outcome, we define an indicator based on the monthly income from employment subject to social security contributions. The results of this study show that in-firm training and classroom training not only increase young adult’s employment chances, but also their employment quality. In contrast, an employment scheme in the public sector has negative effects on both outcomes." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
