Framework Conditions For Municipal Employment Measures

Municipalities have different start points and framework conditions regarding how, through employment measures, they can impact the degree to which people of working age are on public support. The framework conditions depend on the composition of the population in the individual municipality and the regional labour-market conditions.
The objective of this report is to establish an updated basis for categorising municipalities in groups with uniform framework conditions so that it is possible to compare municipal key figures for employment measures and benefits payments between municipalities with more or less the same framework conditions.
The report describes the results of a statistical model which can be used to calculate the significance of the framework conditions for each municipality and to rank municipalities according to the difficulty of their framework conditions.
The survey was prepared for the National Labour Market Authority and was completed collaboratively by SFI - The Danish National Centre for Social Research and KORA (Danish institute for analysis and research of municipalities and regions).
