| Summary: | "In Belgium school-leavers are entitled to unemployment benefits after a waiting
period and eligible to intensified counselling and training in the Youth Work
Plan (YWP) if a job is not found within three months. The length of the waiting
period and eligibility to the YWP are sharply determined by two distinct age
thresholds. These are exploited to estimate the impact of these policies on the
transition rate to employment and on the quality of work. Both policies increase
job finding only slightly and insignificantly. The accepted wage is unaffected,
but the number of working days falls and, hence, also earnings." |
