'Aktive Arbeitsmarktpolitik hat in vielen OECD-Ländern an Bedeutung gewonnen, um die Funktionsweise der Arbeitsmärkte zu verbessern und die steigende Arbeitslosigkeit zu bekämpfen. Daher bekommt auch die Frage wachsende Bedeutung, wie diese Politik effektiver gemacht werden kann. Das Papier gibt einen Überblick über das Feld, und diskutiert welche Prioritätensetzungen und welche Schritte zu einer umfassenden Evaluationspraxis führen können. Es wird gezeigt, daß jede der verschiedenen Arten von Evaluation - Politikanalyse, Wirkungsforschung und Implementationsforschung - ernstgenommen werden müssen. Der Entwicklung der Implementationsforschung sollte Priorität gegeben werden, wobei der Aufbau von guten Monitoring Systemen und von Wirkungsindikatoren wichtige Schritte darstellen. Zwischen der Implementationsanalyse und der Wirkungsanalyse besteht ein enger Zusammenhang, da geeignete Monitoring Systeme und Wirkungsindikatoren notwendige Voraussetzungen für das Verständnis der Wirkungen darstellen.'

'Active labour market policy has gained emphasis in several OECD countries to promote efficient labour markets, and to combat rising unemployment. Consequently the question has gained interest, how to make these policies more effective. During the last ten years several attempts have been made to review the advances in the field of labour market policy evaluation. The paper gives an overview of the field, considering what steps could be taken, and what priorities could be assigned in the development of a rather comprehensive national evaluation practice. It is argued that each of the different categories of labour market policy evaluation - policy analysis, impact analysis, and implementation analysis - should be taken seriously. Priority should be given especially to the development of implementation analysis: setting up sound monitoring systems and performance indicators must be considered as very important steps. Implementation evaluation has a close relationship to impact evaluation because appropriate structures of monitoring and performance indicators are a necessary precondition for impact studies.'
