Abstract

Work impairment is an increasing concern in advanced economies, particularly among young people. Activation, rather than passively providing economic support, is often regarded as the preferred strategy for addressing this issue. However, little is known about which measures are effective for improving youth work impairment. A hazard rate competing risk model with unobserved heterogeneity applied to rich Norwegian panel data provides some insights. Wage subsidies, and to some extent education/training programs, have the intended effect. In other words, work-impaired youths who participate in these measures have a higher probability of obtaining work/starting an education and a lower probability of experiencing a transition to social security than those youths who do not participate in any measure. The impacts of follow-up initiatives and work practice programs are more mixed.

应对残疾的年轻时代-有效的政策

摘要

在发达经济体中，尤其是在年轻人中，工作障碍日益引起人们的关注。激活而不是被动地提供经济支持通常被认为是解决此问题的首选策略。但是，对于哪种措施能有效改善青少年工作障碍知之甚少。将具有未观察到的异质性的危险率竞争风险模型应用于丰富的挪威面板数据可提供一些见解。工资补贴，在某种程度上还包括教育/培训程序，具有预期的效果。换句话说，与不参加任何措施的年轻人相比，参加这些措施的有工作障碍的年轻人获得工作/开始接受教育的可能性较高，而经历社会保障过渡的可能性也较低。的影响，后续行动和工作实践方案更为复杂。
