Evaluating active labour market policies evaluations
In this paper we carry out a meta evaluation of the international evaluation literature regarding active labour market policies (ALMPs). Many attempts have been made to estimate the net impact of reintegration measures on the individual job entry chance. So, the question is what conclusions can be drawn from the literature. How big is the net effect of reintegration measures? Our paper differs from earlier meta analyses of ALMP impact evaluations in the fact that we try to make inferences about the size of the net effect. To that end we analyze the size distribution of the net impact estimates resulting from the international evaluation literature. In our analysis we distinguish between different types of reintegration measures. Furthermore, we carry our regression analyses in which we explain the estimated effect found in individual studies from the type of measure, the labour market context and characteristics of the evaluation method used.
