This paper examines the interactions between employment and training policies. Their effectiveness in stimulating … income may be interdependent for various important reasons. For example, the more employment policies stimulate the … employment rate, the greater the length of time over which workers use the human capital generated by training policies. Moreover …

We explore the far-reaching implications of low-wage subsidies on aggregate employment. Low-wage subsidies have three … important effects. First, they promote employment of unskilled workers (who tend to be the ones who earn low wages). Second, by … that there are more unskilled workers associated with a relatively low employment rate. Third, the government budget …

This paper analyses theoretically and empirically how employment subsidies should be targeted. We contrast measures … efficiency (AWE). Thereby we can identify policies that (a) improve employment and welfare, (b) do not raise earnings inequality …
