| Abstract: | This paper presents a summary of recent microeconometric results on the evaluation of the effects of active labour market policies on youth employment in France. Focus is on 3 types of policies: 1. youth employment schemes for out-of-employment and low-skilled young adults, 2. on-the-job training schemes, 3. payroll tax subsidies for minimum wage workers. Training programs for unemployed young workers have in general no effects on post-training wages or employment probabilities, except if they have a large training content. In contrast, the reduction of labour costs have significant effects on employment probabilities of low-wage workers; however their effects appear to be stronger for workers btw. 25 and 30 yrs. |
