%T Creating employment or keeping them busy: an evaluation of training programs for older workers in Germany %A Romeu Gordo, Laura %A Wolff, Joachim %P 22 %V 49 %D 2010 %= 2012-07-30T13:00:00Z %~ USB Köln %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-308287 %X "We analyze the effect of participation in short-term training measures on older German recipients of means-tested unemployment benefits. Our analysis uses administrative data of the German Federal Employment Agency and we estimate the effects of participating in two types of short-term training - classroom and in-firm training - on different outcomes of the participants. Our results show that classroom training is not effective in making participants independent of benefit receipt. It has a moderately positive effect on employment outcomes, which are highest for West German men. In contrast, in-firm training significantly raises the participants' likelihood of finding regular jobs and of being independent of unemployment benefit receipt."
