Active Labor Market

Scholars from different fields have studied youth unemployment: its causes, consequences, and ways to tackle it. This chapter provides an overview of the most important results with a specific focus on effectiveness. Among the topics reviewed are the need for research regarding effectiveness, different methods to study effectiveness, and how the results of these methods are appraised. Then other factors than the research design are described to assess the practical significance of ALMPs, followed by a description of the results of recent reviews and meta-analyses. Finally, some selected factors that impact ALMP effectiveness are discussed. This chapter ends with a discussion of current debates and identification of future research opportunities.

Observation Period

SummaryThis paper estimates the effects of several German labor market programs - starting in March 2003 - on the employment outcomes of participants using propensity score matching. The main objective is to analyze how estimated average treatment effects vary with the choice of the classification window that defines treatment and non-treatment. The first approach does not put any restrictions on the future of the treated as well as of their comparison group. This approach has become more and more common in the evaluation of European labor market policies. In contrast, the second approach considers only potential comparison group members, who have not entered any labor market program during the entire observation period of 3V2 years. The third approach additionally restricts itself to participants, who have not participated in further labor market programs during the observation period. The results differ considerably; program effectiveness is estimated to be much lower using the second approach. The paper highlights the fact that program careers are a non-trivial issue that deserves more attention in future research.

Distributional Impacts

We evaluate the distributional impacts of active labor market programming for indigenous peoples in Canada. Using administrative data and an empirical strategy that compares participants in high-intensity programs--skills interventions, job-creation partnerships, or wage subsidies--to those in low-intensity programs, such as employment assistance or job counseling, reveals large returns to high-intensity programming for above-median earnings. Returns are largest for women at the mean, suggesting that high-intensity programming may reduce gender gaps in earnings among participants, who represent 10 percent of all indigenous people in Canada. Larger returns at the top of the distribution indicate that overall inequality among participants could increase.
