ABSTRACT

Using a panel dataset from a five-wave survey of participants in Singapore’s Work Support Programme (WSP) from 2010 to 2016, we quantify the cumulative negative impact of facing multiple employment barriers and demonstrate the association between the individual stressors and labor market indicators. Using a fixed effects model to reduce the confounding effects of unobservables, we find that a one standard deviation increase in the number of employment barriers brings about a 2.7 to 3.5 percentage point increase in the probability of being unemployed and a 58 SGD to 78 SGD decrease in individual earnings.

重新思考就业壁垒在积极劳动力市场政策中的作用：来自固定效应分析的证据

摘要

使用来自 2010 年至 2016 年新加坡工作支持计划 (WSP) 参与者的五波调查的面板数据集，我们量化了面临多重就业障碍的累积负面影响，并证明了个人压力源与劳动力市场指标之间的关联。使用固定效应模型来减少不可观察因素的混杂效应，我们发现就业障碍数量每增加一个标准差，就会使失业概率增加 2.7 到 3.5 个百分点，减少 58 新元到 78 新元在个人收入中。
