Travail et Emploi, 2014, vol. n° 139, issue 3, 15-23

Abstract: This article provides a selective overview of ?what we know? about the successes and failure of active labor market programs (ALMPs). It begins with a brief overview of the history of these programs, focusing on the major federally-funded programs operated in the United States since the 1930s. It then discusses the various behavioral channels that underlie ? often implicitly ? the job training, work experience, and job placement programs that have been proposed, and presents a summary of their effects. Finally, it presents a selective review of the major evaluation efforts in the United States and Europe, and point to some lessons for the design of future programs.
