| Abstract: | This paper evaluates the effects of specially designed youth unemployment programmes (YUPs) intended to provide young unemployed unskilled workers with skills. YUPs potentially crowd out ordinary training. Impact of an increase in programme participation is analysed and the study derive a condition for crowding out of ordinary training, as well as a condition for an increase in the skilled labour force and thereby reduced unemployment. |
