Loans for welfare benefit recipients: Evidence from the Sample of Integrated Welfare Benefit Biographies ( SIG ) 2007–2020
The Sample of Integrated Welfare Benefit Biographies (SIG) provides comprehensive administrative data on the labour market participation, household composition and financial situation of welfare benefit recipients and their household members in Germany between 2007 and 2020. The SIG data enables research on the dynamics of welfare receipt and labour market participation of welfare recipients. The aim of the article is to introduce the SIG and to …
Unemployed and then? The role of non‐standard employment in labour market trajectories after unemployment
Non‐standard employment (NSE) might offer employment opportunities for unemployed workers, who would not find a job otherwise and can improve their human capital while working in NSE instead of being unemployed. NSE thus could serve as a bridge to regular, permanent employment. However, these stepping stone effects might not occur in a segmented labour market, when the accumulated human capital is not useful for regular jobs or NSE is not a posit…
Folgen der Corona-Krise für den Arbeitsmarkt: Droht der Aufbau neuer Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit
Die Corona-Pandemie stellte den Arbeitsmarkt vor große Herausforderungen. In diesem Beitrag untersuchen wir die Entwicklung der Arbeitslosigkeit im Pandemiezeitraum. Trotz der höheren Inanspruchnahme von Kurzarbeit stieg die Arbeitslosigkeit im Jahr 2020 stärker als während der vorherigen großen Rezession 2009, hauptsächlich da weniger Arbeitslose die Arbeitslosigkeit beenden konnten. Betroffen waren Arbeitslose mit unterschiedlichen Perspektiven…
Caught between two stools? Informal care provision and employment among welfare recipients in Germany
In many countries, population ageing is challenging the viability of the welfare state and generating higher demands for long-term care. At the same time, increasing participation in the labour force is essential to ensuring the sustainability of the welfare state. To address the latter issue, affected countries have adopted measures to increase employment; e.g. welfare recipients in Germany are required to be available for any type of legal work…
Persistence of Welfare Receipt and Unemployment in Germany: Determinants and Duration Dependence
Although the German economy managed the last economic recession comparatively well, it suffers from high and stagnating long-term unemployment and benefit receipt. This article is the first to study the duration and determinants of welfare benefit ('unemployment benefit II') receipt in Germany as a whole, with special attention on duration dependence. The recipients of the means-tested household benefit are not necessarily registered as unemploye…
Intensified activation for disadvantaged welfare recipients in Germany: Does it work
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the implementation and effectiveness of an intensified activation scheme for very disadvantaged welfare recipients in Germany, used as a targeting device for a very generous wage subsidy (JobPerspective). Design/methodology/approach Using administrative data and a difference‐in‐difference approach, the authors analyse the implementation of the activation scheme and its impact on various labour marke…
Perceived Economic Uncertainty and Fertility: Evidence From a Labor Market Reform
Whereas in theory individuals tend to postpone fertility decisions in times of economic uncertainty, empirical evidence on that question is scarce. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (N = 4,548), the authors estimated the effect of economic concerns on the probability of becoming pregnant in the next year. They exploited exogenous variation in economic concerns induced by the announcement of a major German unemployment benefit reform…
Effectiveness of One-Euro-Jobs: Do programme characteristics matter?
Recent German labour market reforms introduced a large scale workfare programme called One-Euro-Jobs to activate welfare recipients and improve their employment prospects. In programme design leeway is left to regional actors. Using administrative data and Propensity Score (PS) matching, this article investigates the association between programme design and effectiveness, so as to provide insight on how to increase programme effectiveness. First,…
Ein-Euro-Jobs aus Sicht der Betroffenen: Zur Binnenwahrnehmung eines kontroversen Instruments
Ein-Euro-Jobs gehören trotz der zuletzt zurückgehenden Teilnehmerzahlen zu den am häufigsten eingesetzten Maßnahmen zur Aktivierung von Arbeitslosengeld-II-Empfängern. Sie sollen als ultima ratio eingesetzt werden, um die Beschäftigungschancen von arbeitsmarktfernen Teilnehmern zu erhöhen. Der aktuelle Forschungsstand legt allerdings nahe, dass ihr Erfolg hinsichtlich der Reintegration von Leistungsempfängern in den ersten Arbeitsmarkt vergleichs…
A fistful of euros: Is the German one‐euro job workfare scheme effective for participants
Hohmeyer K, Wolff J. A fistful of euros: is the German one‐euro job workfare scheme effective for participants? Welfare reforms have constituted a major policy issue in many OECD countries in recent decades. In Germany, a major reform in 2005 emphasised the activation of welfare recipients and introduced a workfare programme –‘One‐Euro Jobs’– on a large scale. In the present study, the impact of one‐euro jobs on the employment prospects of differ…
