| Summary: | "This paper evaluates the effects of entry into training programs and subsidized public
employment schemes which were set up in France at the end of the 1990s. Studied outcomes are unemployment and subsequent employment durations, wages accepted, and occupations. A flexible multivariate duration-occupation-wage dynamic model is estimated. The impact of programs depends, ceteris paribus, mainly on their training content and the educational level of recipients. Vocational training programs have an overall positive impact on the transition to employment, whereas basic training programs improve the job stability of less-educated recipients. The paper also highlights the importance of occupations in better understanding the impact of programs. Community jobs display negative impacts on employment and
occupations. With basic training programs, they also display negative impacts on wages for the more-educated participants. These negative effects are found to be mainly driven by apost-program state dependence in low-skilled occupations." |
