Non-notified job seekers (Group C) experienced a sharper, more abrupt increase in the exit rate to work around day 90 compared to advance-notified job seekers (Group B), confirming theoretical predictions of anticipatory behavioral smoothing; however, advance notification yielded no statistically significant difference in unconditional 365-day re-employment probabilities (68.3% for Group B vs 69.7% for Group C).
Estimated 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.
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.
Failure to fulfill agreed search obligations or submit application verification results in a mandatory 2-week total unemployment benefit withdrawal ("Sperrzeit"), with repeated infractions triggering complete benefit disqualification for extended durations.
