Labour & employmentPrivate Sector Wage SubsidiesPrivate sector wage subsidies were utilized for 8%–12% of treatment group members (vs 4%–6% control) and yielded positive post-program exit effects in Storstrøm (completion coefficient 0.97) compared to public sector temporary jobs.RCTLabour & employmentSubsidized Employment Pathway AccelerationEarly integration agreements accelerated transitions into wage-subsidized roles and business startup grants (Gründungszuschuss lasting up to 15 months), driving early 180-day exit increases among low-employability job seekers before unsubsidized employment rates converged at 365 days (7.4 percentage point increase in unsubsidized jobs for Group A vs D).RCTLabour & employmentOpportunity Cost of Vocational TrainingShort-term labor earnings in the treatment group fell by 10,494 FCFA/month (-25%, p < 0.001) due to reductions in wage work (-6,414 FCFA) and self-employment (-6,381 FCFA). The monthly program stipend of 10,213 FCFA fully offset these forgone earnings, resulting in zero net change in total short-term income.RCT
