It is known that labor market programs are frequently used to support employment. In this respect, the effectiveness of these programs on employment is investigated from different perspectives in the literature. The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of active and passive labor market programs on employment in different countries. In this context, the short and long-run effects of active and passive labor market programs on employment in the US, Germany, Sweden and Spain between 1991 and 2020 are analyzed using the ARDL method. The analysis reveals that out-of-work income maintenance and support, which is among the passive programs, reduces employment in all countries in the short and long run. Among the active labor market programs, employment incentives and direct job creation programs increase employment in some countries compared to training, while the training leads to an increase in employment in the short run only in Sweden. In this context, it has been observed that active programs affect employment differently both in the short and long run within countries and across countries depending on the type of practice. Therefore, it can be said that labor market programs are directly related to the socio-economic situation of countries as well as the general structure of their labor markets.

İşgücü Piyasası Programları ve İstihdam: Seçili Ülkeler Kapsamında Bir Araştırma

İşgücü piyasası programlarının istihdamı destekleme konusunda sıklıkla başvurulan uygulamalar olarak nitelendirildiği bilinmektedir. Bu açıdan bu programların istihdam üzerindeki etkinliği literatürde farklı perspektiflerde araştırılmaktadır. Farklı ülkelerde aktif ve pasif işgücü piyasası programlarının istihdam üzerinde nasıl bir etki gösterdiği çalışmanın temel amacıdır. Bu bağlamda çalışma kapsamında aktif ve pasif işgücü piyasası programlarının Amerika, Almanya, İsveç ve İspanya’da 1991-2020 yılları arasında istihdam üzerindeki kısa ve uzun dönemli etkisi ARDL yöntemi kullanılarak incelenmektedir. Yapılan analizlerle pasif uygulamalar içerisinde yer alan çalışma dışı gelir desteğinin kısa ve uzun dönemde tüm ülkelerde istihdamı azalttığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Aktif işgücü piyasası programlarından istihdam teşvikleri ve doğrudan istihdam yaratma uygulamalarının eğitim programlarına kıyasla istihdamı bazı ülkelerde artırdığı eğitim programının ise yalnızca İsveç’te kısa dönemde istihdam artışına yol açtığı gözlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda aktif uygulamaların program türüne göre gerek ülke içerisinde kısa ve uzun dönemde gerekse ülkeler arasında istihdamı farklı yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Bu açıdan işgücü piyasası programlarının ülkelerin işgücü piyasalarının genel yapısının yanında içerisinde bulunduğu sosyo-ekonomik durum ile doğrudan ilişkili olduğu söylenebilecektir.
