Assessment of the Impacts of Active Labor Market Policy Practices: A Meta Analysis Study
Abstract
Active labor market policies are the most applied policy for developed and developing countries to solve the problem of unemployment that has become one of the most important problems of the economies since 18th century with the problems of distribution. Active labor market policies often consist of job search assistance, vocational training, public and private sector job creation subsidies, although they vary from country to country and from program framework to scope. In this study, a meta-analysis study was carried out on the effects of the policies applied within different programs. The analysis of 77 different studies showed that both positive and negative effects were found.
