The Action under the EU´s Employment Programmes

In the period 1994-1999 the European Social Fund has carried out a number of labour market programmes with the aim of combating long-term unemploy­ment and supporting the integration of groups which in particular are under threat of social exclusion from the labour market.
In the period 1997-2000 the Danish National Institute of Social Research has evaluated the action under two of these program­mes: Objective 3 and Employ­ment (Denmark). The concluding part of this evaluation is presented in this report. The report represents a review of the programmes, the participants, and the effects of the action with the main importance attached to an evaluation of the programmes´ implementation on project level.
