Book Description
About 3% of GNP is spent on government labor market programs in Sweden, compared to 2 % in Germany and less than 0.5% in the U.S. In Sweden these programs include extensive job training, mobility bonuses and unemployment benefits. Reviews of previous literature suggest that job training programs have small effects on wages and re-employment in Sweden, but precise inferences are difficult because of small sample sizes. The authors also investigate alternative reasons for the stability of the Beveridge Curve in Sweden, and compare regional evolutions of employment and unemployment in Sweden and the U.S. Lastly a cross-country analysis is presented showing that the extent of a country's active labor market program is positively associated with the national unemployment rate.

Book Description
Using panel data for 15 industrial countries, active labor market policies (ALMPs) are shown to have raised employment rates in the business sector in the 1990s, after controlling for many institutions, country-specific effects, and economic variables. Among such policies, direct subsidies to job creation were the most effective. ALMPs also affected employment rates by reducing real wages below levels allowed by technological growth, changes in the unemployment rate, and institutional and other economic factors. However, part of this wage moderation may be linked to a composition effect because policies were targeted to low-paid individuals. Whether ALMPs are cost-effective from a budgetary perspective remains to be determined, but they are certainly not substitutes for comprehensive institutional reforms.
