Long-run Effects of Vocational Training in Germany before 1998

Using micro-econometric techniques and extensive administrative micro data sets we study the effects of various nationwide vocational education measures on the success of finding employment in Germany for those who participate in such programmes. These types of measures represent one of the most important components of Active Labour Market Policies in Germany. The aim of the project is to better understand the effectiveness of such labour market measures. This project focuses on the long-run effects of training programmes conducted before 1998 and their changes over time.
