Youth unemployment has severe and long-lasting consequences. Despite the abundance of programmes that aim to integrate unemployed youth into the labour market, little is known about what factors have an impact on ensuring a durable labour market transition. This study reports on an employment programme for high-educated, unemployed young adults. The effect of participant, programme, relational and contextual factors on employment success was examined in a longitudinal study among 1,306 young adults. Twelve months after the programme, 1,069 participants were employed. Participant and relational factors increased the likelihood of employment success, while the effect of programme factors was mixed. Contextual factors decreased the likelihood of employment quality. The prediction of employment status and quality was based on a different combination of factors, which underscores the importance of investigating both, especially in a highly educated sample. More insight into the role, the four primary determinants play in finding employment can help improve employment interventions. Several courses of action are presented.

对失业青年的干预措施进行更全面的评估：对参与者、计划、关系和背景因素的纵向调查

青年失业会产生严重而持久的后果。尽管有大量旨在让失业青年融入劳动力市场的计划，但对于确保劳动力市场持久转型的影响因素知之甚少。本研究报告了一项针对受过高等教育的失业青年的就业计划。在一项针对 1,306 名年轻人的纵向研究中，研究了参与者、计划、关系和背景因素对就业成功的影响。计划实施 12 个月后，雇用了 1,069 名参与者。参与者和相关因素增加了就业成功的可能性，而计划因素的影响则喜忧参半。情境因素降低了就业质量的可能性。就业状况和质量的预测基于不同的因素组合，这强调了对两者进行调查的重要性，尤其是在受过高等教育的样本中。深入了解就业的四个主要决定因素所起的作用，有助于改善就业干预。提出了几个行动方案。
