| Description | This analytical report deals the evaluation of the Active Labour Markets Measures in the Czech Republic. Besides effects of different ALMP‘s (training, activation and subsidized jobs) we follow the influence of the parameters of the programs such as subtypes, duration, subsidies or combination of programs. Effects are perceived in the period of one year and a half after the end of the particular program. The goal of the text is to answer three different questions: (1) how are the particular programs targeted? (2) How do the analyzed programs influence the situation of the participants on the labour market? and (3) Which factors have the impact on the success of the participants on the labour market? The text links the concluding of the previous research of the RILSA and issues the individual data of the Public Employment Offices. Every our step aspires to shift the analysis a bit further. Main innovation of the research is the application of the matching pair’s methodology. To see the overall effects, the participants are examined at least six months after the end of the program. The file contains all the unemployed people in the Czech Republic in January, 1st, 2005. Total number of the ALMPs was 138 000 in 2005, however the cohort contains just 96 000 programs. The other programs are those with people who entered unemployment in the duration of 2005. It seems that the ALMPs are targeted on the more prepared unemployed (especially young people with higher education, who have better position on the labour market). The exception is the participants of the public works. Significant decrease (in tens of percent) is especially reached in the group of the participants of the subsidized jobs. On the contrary, the training and activation do not provide a clear picture. In the period of six months after the end of the programs, the risk of unemployment is similar to the risk of those who do not participate in the programs. It seems that the programs of public works form a specific segment of the labour force that has tendency to stay in unemployment for even longer time than the non-participants. Over all tendencies is that the factors of the success of programs are similar to the factors of the outflow of unemployment. For example, the training courses do not rather decrease the risks of the unemployment because the risks are higher in groups that have generally higher risks (if the known indicators are controlled). |
