In person icon Activation of and Outcomes for Vulnerable Jobseekers

Abstract

ALMPs aim at re-integrating jobless individuals into the labour market, thereby targeting a potential vulnerable population such as low-skilled, migrants, or people on social assistance. The focus on a swift labour market integration might entail the cost of putting even more pressure on already an already disadvantaged individuals. This panel addresses topics around the consequences of ALMP participation for vulnerable jobseekers. Such as: How successful are these policies in their aim of reintegrating these individuals into the labour market? What are the costs of labour market reintegrating in terms of social inclusion and inequality? Can ALMPs successfully reduce disadvantage?
