A longitudinal study on labour market transitions and sustainability of employment after further training measures in the context of vocational rehabilitation

Abstract

"Objective<br> The study examines employment prospects of persons who participate in further and re-training measures in the context of vocational rehabilitation in the responsibility of the Federal Employment Agency (FEA).<br> Methods<br> Using administrative data of the FEA (RehaPro), we focus on persons completing vocational rehabilitation between 2009 and 2012 (N=21,772). We employ event history analysis to present time and extent of employment transition and their sustainability. By using multivariate analyses, factors for taking up employment are identified.<br> Results<br> Within 500 days, 70 % of promoted persons gain contributed employment, often directly after rehabilitation. The median for employment duration within the observation period is 670 days.<br> Conclusion<br> Further training measures are an important opportunity for the re-integration of persons with health limitations in the labour market."
