Measures of Active Labor Market Policy - such as training, wage subsidies, public
employment measures, and job search assistance - are widely used in European countries
to combat unemployment. Little, however, is known about what each country can learn
from experiences in other countries. This study provides novel insight on this important
policy issue by - discussing the role of the European Commission's Employment Strategy
- reviewing the experiences made in European states - and giving the first ever quantitative
assessment of the existing cross-country evidence, answering the question "what labor
market program works for what target group under what (economic and institutional)
circumstances?". Using an innovative meta-analytical approach, the authors find that
rather than contextual factors such as labor market institutions or the business cycle,
it is almost exclusively the program type that matters for program effectiveness:
While direct employment programs in the public sector appear detrimental, wage subsidies
and "Services and Sanctions" can be effective in increasing participants' employment
