Sozialer Arbeitsmarkt
Abstract
In this statement, IAB is commenting on the motion of the parliamentary group, the SPD (Social Democratic Party) and the parliamentary group Bündnis 90/Die Grünen (Alliance 90/The Greens) in the Landtag Nordrhein-Westfalen (State Parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia: 'Förderung eines dauerhaften sozialen Arbeitsmarktes - Arbeit statt Arbeitslosigkeit finanzieren' (Subsidizing a permanent social labour market - Financing work instead of unemployment' (printed document 16/8655) along with the motion of the parliamentary group, the FDP (Free Democratic Party) in the State Parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia: 'Betreuung und Qualifizierung von Langzeitarbeitslosen in NRW verbessern - Vermittlung in den ersten Arbeitsmarkt muss Vorrang vor öffentlich geförderter Beschäftigung haben' (Improving the support for and qualifications of the long-term unemployed in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) - Placement in the regular labour market must have priority over publically subsidized employment' (printed document 16/6681).<br> In this statement, IAB is responding to the following aspects relating to the subsidi-zation of a social labour market: We first discuss the solidification of long-term un-employment and the consequences resulting from this in relation to the social partic-ipation of those affected. After that, characteristics are presented which reduce the chances of integration into the regular labour market on an individual basis. The diversity of these characteristics shows how heterogeneous the target group is. From this, in a third step, it is then deduced that offers tailored to persons with specific needs and to specific target groups must exist - including offers, such as the social labour market which does not aim directly at integrating those subsidized into the regular labour market. Following this, the results of evaluation studies relating to programmes of publically subsidized employment subject to social security contributions are commented on. Here a special focus is on the initial results of a current study on 'Modellprojekten öffentlich geförderte Beschäftigung in NRW' (Model projects of publically subsidized employment in North Rhine-Westphalia). Finally, reflections on passive-active-transfer as a means to financing the social labour market are discussed. (IAB) ((en))
