Abstract This paper evaluates the effects that Active Labour Market Programmes (ALMPs) as a component of Public Employment Services (PES) in Kosovo, have on their participants. The study focuses on the likelihood of individual employment as a result of the PES measures using microdata from the Labour Force Survey in Kosovo. Under deficiency of estimates on labour market measures effectiveness, the empirical analysis in this paper confirms the positive role of active labour market programmes in Kosovo. Assessments show that groups targeted by employment offices have increased their probability of being employed. Estimation results may suggest that it would be appropriate for the activity of the Employment Offices and in general, of active policies, to grow their influence. However, Employment Offices would need to meet with a greater number of individuals who could benefit from their increased employability and activity in the labour market. Moreover, it is recommended that the active policies are accompanied by other complementary policies while designing an economic environment that provides incentives for job creation.

积极的劳动力市场政策对就业的影响：对科索沃公共就业服务的评估

摘要本文评估了积极的劳动力市场计划（ALMP）作为科索沃公共就业服务（PES）的组成部分对其参与者的影响。这项研究集中在使用科索沃劳动力调查的微观数据进行的PES措施导致个人就业的可能性。在缺乏劳动力市场措施有效性估算的情况下，本文的实证分析证实了积极的劳动力市场计划在科索沃的积极作用。评估表明，以就业办公室为目标的群体增加了被雇用的可能性。估计结果可能表明，就业办公室的活动以及总体而言，积极政策的影响扩大是合适的。然而，就业办公室将需要与更多的人会面，这些人可能会受益于他们在劳动力市场中日益增长的就业能力和活动。此外，建议在设计经济环境以刺激创造就业机会的同时，积极政策应与其他补充政策相辅相成。
