OECD-EC PROJECT ON POLICY IMPACT EVALUATION THROUGH THE USE OF LINKED
ADMINISTRATIVE AND SURVEY DATA

 

The OECD Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs (ELS), the
European Commission’s Directorate General for Employment, Social Affairs and
Inclusion and the Competence Centre on Microeconomic Evaluation (CC-ME) of
the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) are working jointly on a
five-year project that supports evidence-informed policymaking in the field of
labour market and social policies. The project has a dual aim to improve the
effectiveness of ALMPs based on the results of the CIEs and strengthen the
countries’ capacity for evidence-informed policy making.

Countries employ a variety of active labour market policies (ALMPs) to address
gaps in labour market opportunities and improve jobseekers’ employability.
Accurately evaluating these policies can identify what works and for whom. These
evaluations (especially counterfactual impact evaluations, CIEs) provide
valuable information for making informed policy choices, establishing the
accountability of public expenditures, and building support for continued
deployment of measures in the longer-term. A key requirement for such
evaluations is the use of rich data of good quality, which can be obtained by
linking different registers as well as surveys. Such data and CIEs are also
important tools for the evaluation of several labour market and social policies.

This project provides an opportunity to carry out CIEs of selected measures in
different countries and provide related policy recommendations. In addition, it
builds a forum for exchange and learning between countries. 

The project currently covers 5 EU countries and 1 non-EU country:

 KEY QUESTIONS

How does participation in ALMPs affect the probability of employment, job
quality and sustainability, career progression and the match between occupations
and jobseekers’ skills?

How do the effects of ALMPs vary across different individuals, time and the
economic cycle?
What are effective combinations and sequences of ALMPs?
What does an effective system of ALMP impact evaluations look like?
