    This paper evaluates the active labour market policy instrument called ‘chosen training’ (in Czech zvolené rekvalifikace), introduced to the Czech labour market policy in 2012.

Methodologically, we conducted counterfactual impact analysis, where we matched participants in the programme with those wh…

  • Diversity of youth policy regimes and early job insecurity – towards an integrated approach

    Open AccessOndřej Hora, Markéta Horáková et al.CHAPTERYouth Unemployment and Job…2019

    Surprisingly, there is limited knowledge about how policies at national level have shaped specific ‘youth policy packages’. We discuss what might be the distinctive features of ‘youth employment/school-to-work transition regimes’ when exploring the interactions between four public policy fields: education, active employment policies, employment protection legislation and unemployment income protection. Our specific contribution is an attempt to i…
