Abstract: "The aim of this microeconometric study is to estimate the effects of the Swiss employment and training measures on the individual employment probabilities of potential participants on the basis of administrative data from the unemployment insurance and the pension insurance. A large number of the employment and training measures are studied altogether, taking into account their heterogeneous programme structure. For this reason the measures were divided up into eight different groups each with similar types of programme. People who did not take part in any measure were brought in as a further control group. The results show a very differentiated picture of the effectiveness of the individual programmes, which can be reduced to the following denominators in summary: the earnings top-up is the only scheme to have a clearly positive effect on the chances of returning to employment, whereas the programmes aimed at temporary employment have a negative effect at least in the short term, but probably also in the medium term. No such clear results can be found for the remaining elements of the employment and training measures." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
