Closer to the labour market?

The primary objective of the employment efforts for unemployed people is to help unemployed people into employment. However, many of the unemployed people who are not ready to take on a job, have such large and complex problems that it would require long-term and intensive efforts to get them into employment. In the short term, the success criteria for efforts will therefore be to help the unemployed people become more ready to take on a job rather than to help them obtain ordinary employment quickly.
This report discusses how best to measure whether unemployed people who are not ready to take on a job gets closer to the labour market when they have participated in employment efforts.
