abstract: 'In this paper, we analyze the targeting and outcomes of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
apprenticeship program implemented under the Youth Guarantee/YG scheme
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the Czech Republic. We examine the outcomes and targeting using
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
counterfactual impact evaluation (quasi-experimental design) of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
apprenticeship program on the basis of administrative data from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Czech Employment Office. The implementation strategy is analyzed using
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
various policy documents. The findings indicate that the program is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
apparently targeted at those groups of young people who are less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantaged as regards education level and previous unemployment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experience. At the same time, paradoxically, the effects in terms of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outflows from the unemployment register are weak for the short-term and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
medium-term unemployed, as well as for low-skilled and high-skilled
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
youth, and stronger effects are evident in the case of long-term
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployed and medium-skilled youth. The failures in targeting and in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adjusting the program to the needs of more vulnerable groups of youth
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are due to an inconsistent implementation strategy of Czech Public
