| Abstract: |
"This report presents findings of the quantitative and qualitative evaluation
of the pilot program 'Perspective of Women's Re-entry into the Labor Market',
conducted by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). The pilot program
aims at supporting the re-entry of women into the labor market after a
family-related absence from employment for at least three years. Managed by
the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth in
cooperation with the German Federal Employment Office, the program was
implemented across Germany by 28 project executing agencies with partially
different concepts. This report refers to the first funding period of the
program from March 2009 to February 2012. The findings of the quantitative
evaluation are based on altogether five panel surveys of two cohort samples of
women participating in the model program as well as a potential comparison
group of women who are clients of the Federal Employment Agency
(non-participating women). Despite a careful selection of similar
nonparticipating women, both groups will probably consist of women with
different labor market aspirations: The program aims at women who are in need
of orientation services to re-enter the job market. Non-participating women
have at least contact to a jobcenter. This does, however, not necessarily
imply that they are keen to re-enter the labor market, and they might be in
need of orientation services, too." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en)) |
