The effectivity of subsidized further occupational training of persons receiving means-tested unemployment benefit (ALG II) in Germany

Abstract

"The aim of promoting further occupational training is to increase chances of employment and this also applies to those receiving means-tested unemployment benefit (ALG II). In addition, this hoped-for subsequent employment is intended to avoid the necessity of persons having to draw means-tested unemployment benefit. Using data from the Federal Employment Agency, findings are now available on the labour market success and the receipt of means-tested unemployment benefit by those promoted and who entered such a measure at the beginning of the year 2005, that is, directly after the introduction of Book II of the Social Code (SGB II)."
