Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of survey data of retrenched workers from an Australian car plant. This report presents results of a statistical analysis of data from the two surveys of retrenched workers from the closure of a large car plant due to structural changes in the manufacturing sector of the economy. The results are used to evaluate the labour market program which aims to provide flexible packages of vocational training for workers after their retrenchment. The analysis involves the use of logistic regression models in the multivariate analysis to determine factors associated with the probability of retrenched workers’ participation in the program and their re-employment prospect, with an emphasis on training provided by the program as a factor of main interest. The interaction of training with other variables in the model is also included in the report. The report is prepared by Ngoc Luan Ho Trieu (B.Ec, B.A (University Of Western Australia), Grad.Dip.Economics, Grad.Dip.Ecometrics, M.Ec. of Development (Australian National University).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empirical measurement of impacts of active labour market programmes has started to become a central task of economic researchers. New improved econometric methods have been developed that will probably influence future empirical work in various other fields of economics as well. This volume contains a selection of original papers from leading experts, among them James J. Heckman, Noble Prize Winner 2000 in economics, addressing these econometric issues at the theoretical and empirical level. The theoretical part contains papers on tight bounds of average treatment effects, instrumental variables estimators, impact measurement with multiple programme options and statistical profiling. The empirical part provides the reader with econometric evaluations of active labour market programmes in Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Slovak Republic and Sweden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that active labour market policies are necessary to improve the position of the unemployed but have so far performed relatively poorly. The contributing authors seek ways to improve active labour market policy and consider three means of doing so: improving the quality by better targeting and by better-designed measures, more efficient implementation and delivery, and better performance by benchmarking the various implementation agencies involved.

Download or read book Active Labor Market Policy Evaluations written by David E. Card and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a meta-analysis of recent microeconometric evaluations of active labor market policies. Our sample contains 199 separate "program estimates"--Estimates of the impact of a particular program on a specific subgroup of participants - drawn from 97 studies conducted between 1995 and 2007. For about one-half of the sample we have both a short-term program estimate (for a one-year post-program horizon) and a medium- or long-term estimate (for 2 or 3 year horizons). We categorize the estimated post-program impacts as significantly positive, insignificant, or significantly negative. By this criterion we find that job search assistance programs are more likely to yield positive impacts, whereas public sector employment programs are less likely. Classroom and on-the-job training programs yield relatively positive impacts in the medium term, although in the short-term these programs often have insignificant or negative impacts. We also find that the outcome variable used to measure program impact matters. In particular, studies based on registered unemployment are more likely to yield positive program impacts than those based on other outcomes (like employment or earnings). On the other hand, neither the publication status of a study nor the use of a randomized design is related to the sign or significance of the corresponding program estimate. Finally, we use a subset of studies that focus on post-program employment to compare meta-analytic models for the "effect size" of a program estimate with models for the sign and significance of the estimated program effect. We find that the two approaches lead to very similar conclusions about the determinants of program impact.

Download or read book A Practicioner s Guide to Evaluating the Impacts of Labor Market Programs written by Emla Fitzsimons and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This note provides an introduction to the impact evaluation of labor market programs, with particular reference to developing countries. Its focus is on the main issues that need to be considered when planning an impact evaluation, including the importance of rigorous design for an evaluation, and on the statistical techniques used to estimate program impacts. To help the exposition, a prototype of a training program is referred to intermittently throughout the note. This hypothetical training program, which authors call get-to-work, provides training to the unemployed to help them find work. The note describes some general issues that are important for any impact evaluation of employment programs, both in the design and analysis stages, regardless of the specific evaluation techniques used. It then describes the main evaluation techniques, including the data requirements and the main assumptions invoked by each.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social benchmarking is an evaluation method in which the performance levels of different public social programs are compared, either relatively to each other or to an absolute value. The first part of this research discusses the use of social benchmarking for the evaluation of active labour market policies. This part also develops a social benchmark model, which can be used to assess the performance of active labour market policies in general, and work-based employment programs in specific. The second part of this research consists of the actual benchmarking of the work-based employment programs in five countries: Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom
Download or read book Microeconometric Evaluation of Labour Market Policies written by Marco Caliendo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of labour market and other public policies has become increasingly important in recent years. In an era of tight government budgets, a thorough analysis of these measures is imperative. This book provides a comprehensive overview and assessment of the most relevant microeconometric evaluation methods. It focuses on the popular propensity score matching method and gives extensive guidance for its implementation. In the second part of the book, this method is used to evaluate the employment effects of job creation schemes on the participating individuals in Germany. Based on a large administrative dataset of over 11,000 participants, the study allows to draw policy-relevant conclusions for the first time.

Download or read book Evaluating Active Labour Market Policies written by Patrick A. Puhani and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most governments in today's market economies spend significant sums of money on labour market programmes. The declared aims of these programmes are to increase the re-employment chances of the unemployed. This book investigates which active labour market programmes in Poland are value for money and which are not. To this end, modern statistical methods are applied to both macro- and microeconomic data. It is shown that training programmes increase, whereas job subsidies and public works decrease the re-employment opportunities of the unemployed. In general, all active labour market policy effects are larger in absolute size for men than for women. By surveying previous studies in the field and outlining the major statistical approaches that are employed in the evaluation literature, the book can be of help to any student interested in programme evaluation irrespective of the paticular programme or country concerned.
Download or read book The Effectiveness of Labour Market and Social Programs for Unemployed Older Workers written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lessons learned from experience in programming for unemployed older workers can inform discussions on what new approaches & measures should be developed to help older workers adapt to the ever-changing labour market. Accordingly, the objectives of this report are to synthesize findings from the policy literature & evaluation studies on Canadian labour market & social programs commenting, where possible, on the methodological underpinnings of program evaluation results, as well as highlighting the impacts of these programs on unemployed older workers; and to draw general lessons from this experience and identify program design & delivery features associated with effective results. This synthesis includes a review of a technical report previously prepared in 1997 by Human Resources Development Canada and incorporates additional information which deals with a wider range of programs that go beyond traditional labour market adjustment measures.
