Abstract: The overall effect of active and passive labor market policies is pivotal to motivate programs combining the two components. This paper evaluates a flagship French program for disadvantaged youth Not in Employment Education or Training (NEETs) that combines a year of cash transfers and activation policies. The results show a positive total effect of the program on employment (+21 percentage points, +64% relative to control in LATE terms) emerging after program termination. The analysis of mechanisms suggests a negative effect of the cash transfer component on employment and lock-in from training, compensated by a positive effect of activation policies.
