Removing names and geographic details during initial screening eliminates implicit demographic triggers, drawing on historical blind audition precedents where hiding applicant identity increased female musician hiring probabilities in symphony orchestras.
The intervention generated statistically significant improvements in digital skills—specifically device operation, internet browsing, and online administrative task completion—alongside small positive gains in participants' self-perceived employability (Gizatea scale), self-esteem, and life satisfaction.
The intervention increased participant engagement in vocational training and employment counseling, generated small positive gains in working days and employment intensity during the final 3 months, and significantly enhanced participant empowerment (self-perceived capacity to handle stressful situations), though it did not reduce minimum income benefit reliance.
The one-stop shop model significantly increased the take-up of municipal social support programs and enhanced participants' mental health, but produced no statistically significant impacts on employment status, days worked, job search ability, or take-up of employment and training programs.
Removing candidate names and country-identifying headers from initial recruitment software interfaces prevents recruiters from using implicit proxy shortcuts for language ability, forcing evaluations to depend solely on verifiable competencies.
Statistically significant caseworker-driven treatment effect variation among low-employability clients (F-test p-value = 0.041), indicating that individual caseworker practices moderate the re-employment impact of early integration agreements.
The program produced statistically significant improvements in job search skills, professional competencies, personal autonomy, life satisfaction, mental health, housing conditions, social interactions, and an overall social inclusion index, as well as survey-reported increases in employment likelihood (though administrative records showed no short-term employment effect).
Program take-up was exceptionally high (86% completed training), yielding statistically significant enhancements in acquired professional competencies, participant self-efficacy, job search proactivity, motivation, and overall job search strategies compared to standard public employment services.
Only Treatment 2 (which included 39 hours of digital literacy training) yielded a statistically significant positive impact on the completion of online administrative procedures, whereas none of the treatment arms improved job search skills, job search intensity, or life satisfaction.
The ACCEDE intervention produced a large, positive impact on household income, boosted job applications, increased participation in recruitment interviews and vocational training, and enhanced internet access, social rights navigation, and community group participation.
The one-stop shop model improved overall synthetic indicators of social inclusion, housing conditions, parental skills, family satisfaction, and community integration, while reducing child material deprivation and increasing job search intensity, though it produced no statistically significant increase in short-term employment rates or earned income.
Treatment 2 (combining employer intermediation with digital skills) significantly improved quality employment outcomes, increasing the probability of full-time employment, the number of full-time days worked, and overall employment intensity, while decreasing loan default rates.
The Customised Employment Methodology increased weekly working time by 2.3 hours (a 73% increase over the comparison group) and increased accumulated work contracts by 0.14 (a 45% increase), while enhancing participation in training, volunteering, social inclusion, and overall well-being.
The combined digital literacy program generated statistically significant and durable improvements in digital skills, job search intensity, self-perceived employability, and life satisfaction persisting 6 months post-intervention, whereas hardware provision alone yielded substantially smaller effects and neither treatment significantly increased short-term employment rates.
Receiving the health-only intervention significantly enhanced participants' self-perceived capacity to secure employment, while both the employment and combined interventions resulted in statistically significant increases in earned income relative to the comparison group.
Public unemployment spending is minimized at a 30% program participation rate ($\tau = 0.30$), whereas net social welfare is maximized at a 20% participation rate ($\tau = 0.20$). Expanding participation to 100% increases total public expenditure while generating a 0.13% net decline in social welfare.
Algorithmic match recommendations increased the probability of actual worker-firm meetings by ~200% compared to non-recommended pairs ($p < 0.01$), whereas randomly suggested match recommendations showed no statistically significant effect ($p > 0.10$).
The intervention generated a statistically significant reduction in vocational education dropout rates and boosted job search skills and self-perceived job search capacity, though it did not increase participants' intentions to launch a business or short-term employment rates.
While treated jobseekers received a mean public transfer increase of €87 per month at month 12, this was offset by a €47 per month reduction in alternate income sources (€26 decrease from employment, €10 decrease from parents, and €11 decrease from other non-work transfers). Consequently, net personal income rose by only €40 per month (ITT, p < 0.05) relative to the control mean of €602 per month.
Monthly cash benefits were reduced linearly against labor earnings up to the minimum wage (€1,050/month), creating an implicit tax rate of 24%. During the first six months, full-time employment declined significantly by 3 percentage points (ITT -0.18 months of total employment from a control mean of 2.41 months, p < 0.05; TOT -0.21 months, p < 0.01), though this negative employment effect disappeared by the second year.
The program significantly enhanced participants' core and transversal skills (including self-confidence, communication, digital literacy, and problem-solving), though it produced no statistically significant short-term increases in employment rates, days worked, self-esteem, or post-program educational re-enrollment.
Enabled nationwide delivery across 138 classrooms without expanding permanent school payroll, achieving a 0.38 SD knowledge gain and 0.17 SD attitude improvement at a low marginal cost of $14.60 per student.
Only 35 percent of job seekers offered intensive counseling enrolled in the program, short-term employment gains at eight months were driven entirely by fixed-term contracts rather than permanent contracts, and all employment advantages disappeared completely after twelve months [6, 11, 15].
Participants assigned to personalized support worked approximately 14 additional days over a 6-month follow-up period according to administrative records (an 80% increase over comparison), were 8 to 10 percentage points more likely to report employment in surveys, and demonstrated marked improvements in housing stability, safety, and life satisfaction.
Recent immigrants experienced an unemployment rate of 10.4% versus 5.9% for native-born workers. Median earnings for recent immigrants were 36% lower than native-born workers ($21,000 vs. $33,000), and controlling for educational attainment expanded the relative wage gap to 48% lower earnings, despite 60% of recent immigrants holding undergraduate degrees compared to 20% of native-born peers.
Southern Jutland assigned over 80% of treatment cases to private contractors (compared to 40% for controls), resulting in lower meeting intensities (~30% weekly) but stronger threat-driven exit rate responses than Storstrøm (where public offices retained 70% of cases).
Empirical comparisons of employment rates and income outcomes between private and group modalities are forthcoming as the study evaluation is ongoing.
80% of surveyed job seekers reported that the integration agreement served as a reminder of search obligations, 78% viewed it as a monitoring tool, and 74% of caseworkers confirmed using it to control search efforts; the intervention operated independently of participation in other active labor market programs or meeting frequencies.
The program significantly enhanced personal autonomy, reduced participants' risk of experiencing mental health problems, increased frustration tolerance and problem identification skills, and expanded job search strategies and perceived employment probability, despite showing low completion rates (25%) and no immediate short-term employment gains.
A targeted public subsidy of Rs 150 per borrower renders microfinance lenders indifferent between classic and grace period contracts at standard 17.5% APR interest rates, generating an estimated annual social return on public capital of 178% based on an average monthly profit gain of Rs 287 per client.
Southern Jutland delegated over 80% of treatment cases to private contractors (vs. ~40% for controls), yielding lower meeting frequencies (~30% weekly) but stronger threat effects; Storstrøm retained public administration (30% contractor usage) with higher meeting intensity (~40% weekly) but weaker threat-driven exit rate responses.
Viewing legal rights videos initially increased transgender worker selection by 10.3 percentage points (a 23% increase), and generic rights messaging increased selection by 5.8 percentage points (a 13% increase). However, approximately one month after the intervention, behavioral impacts from video screenings decayed completely to zero, whereas peer group discussion impacts persisted significantly at 4 percentage points.
Vocational training improved participant resilience, job search proactivity, organization, and overall job search behaviors, while empowerment workshops boosted job search motivation and proactivity; however, neither intervention increased short-term employment probability.
Personal acquaintance with health providers suppressed patient reporting rates by 7.4 to 10.3 percentage points across penalty treatments, establishing that overcoming social reticence requires third-party outsourcing and structural individual anonymity.
The combined two-generational intervention significantly reduced household material and social deprivation, increased monthly household income, elevated parents' academic expectations for their children, and increased children's standardized test scores in mathematics and language.
