The authors analyze the effect of participation in short-term training measures on older German recipients of means-tested unemployment benefits. Their analysis uses administrative data of the German Federal Employment Agency, and they estimate the effects of participating in two types of short-term training--classroom and in-firm training--on different outcomes of the participants. Results show that classroom training is not effective in making participants independent of benefit receipt. It has a moderately positive effect on employment outcomes, which are highest for West German men. In contrast, in-firm training significantly raises the participants' likelihood of finding regular jobs and of being independent of unemployment benefit receipt.
作者分析了参与短期培训措施对接受经济情况调查的德国老年失业津贴领取者的影响。他们的分析使用了德国联邦就业局的行政数据,并估计了参与两种类型的短期培训——课堂培训和企业内培训——对参与者不同结果的影响。结果表明,课堂培训并不能使参与者摆脱福利领取的依赖。它对就业结果有适度的积极影响,对西德男性的影响最高。相比之下,企业内培训显著提高了参与者找到固定工作和摆脱失业津贴依赖的可能性。
