Labour & employmentCaseworker Meeting Intensity SuperiorityEstimated meeting intensity had a strong, statistically significant positive impact on exit rates to employment (coefficients of 0.47 in Storstrøm and 2.30 in Southern Jutland), whereas estimated program participation rates had a negative or non-significant impact (-0.51 in Storstrøm, 1.73 in Southern Jutland), proving meetings are a more effective substitute for long active programs.RCTLabour & employmentBundled Digital Literacy and Active Job Search TrainingThe 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.RCTLabour & employmentDisplacement Externalities in Active Labor Market ProgramsMandatory job search assistance increased participant exit rates from unemployment by 17.9% to 20% (p < 0.01), but reduced nonparticipant exit rates by 4.8% to 5.0% overall (p < 0.10) and by 7.9% in South Jutland (p < 0.05). At three months, nonparticipants were 2.7 percentage points less likely to find employment (p < 0.05).RCT
