Book Synopsis Before and After the Hartz Reforms by : Lena Jacobi
Download or read book Before and After the Hartz Reforms written by Lena Jacobi and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Having faced high unemployment rates for more than a decade, the German government implemented a comprehensive set of labour market reforms during the period 2003-2005. This paper describes the economic and institutional context of the German labour market before and after these so-called Hartz reforms. Focussing on active policy measures, we delineate the rationale for reform and its main principles. As results of programme evaluation studies post-reform have become available just now, we give a first assessment of the effectiveness of key elements of German ALMP before and after the Hartz reforms. The evidence indicates that the re-organisation of public employment services was mainly successful, with the exception of the outsourcing of services. Re-designing training programmes seems to have improved their effectiveness, while job creation schemes continue to be detrimental for participants' employment prospects. Wage subsidies and start-up subsidies show significantly positive effects. On balance, therefore, the reform seems to be moving the German labour market in the right direction"--Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit web site.
Book Synopsis The German Labor Market Reforms and Post-Unemployment Earnings by : Niklas Engbom
Download or read book The German Labor Market Reforms and Post-Unemployment Earnings written by Niklas Engbom and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003–05, Germany undertook extensive labor market reforms which were followed by a large and persistent decline in unemployment. Key elements of the reforms were a drastic cut in benefits for the long-term unemployed and tighter job search and acceptance obligations. Using a large confidential data set from the German social security administration, we find that the reforms were associated with a fall in the earnings of workers returning to work from short-term unemployment relative to workers in long-term employment of about 10 percent. We interpret this as evidence that the reforms strengthened incentives to return to work but, in doing so, they adversely affected post re-entry earnings.
Book Synopsis Macroeconomic Evaluation of Labor Market Reform in Germany by : Mr.Tom Krebs
Download or read book Macroeconomic Evaluation of Labor Market Reform in Germany written by Mr.Tom Krebs and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-02-13 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005 the German government implemented the so-called Hartz IV reform, which amounted to a complete overhaul of the German unemployment insurance system and resulted in a significant reduction in unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed. In this paper, we use an incomplete-market model with search unemployment to evaluate the macro-economic and welfare effects of the Hartz IV reform. We calibrate the model economy to German data before the reform and then use the calibrated model economy to simulate the effects of Hartz IV. In our baseline calibration, we find that the reform has reduced the long-run (noncyclical) unemployment rate in Germany by 1.4 percentage points. We also find that the welfare of employed households increases, but the welfare of unemployed households decreases even with moderate degree of risk aversion.

Book Synopsis The Effects of the Hartz Reforms on Women in Eastern Germany: Analysis, Implications & Liberal Feminist Perspectives by : Clarke K. Cottingridge
Download or read book The Effects of the Hartz Reforms on Women in Eastern Germany: Analysis, Implications & Liberal Feminist Perspectives written by Clarke K. Cottingridge and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the structural and normative effects of the German Hartz I, II and IV labour market and welfare reforms from liberal feminist perspectives. Therefore, both broad and specific feminist are grounded in and contrasted with (classical) liberalism and utilitarianism and, subsequently, through reinterpretations of central liberal notions extended into a liberal feminist political theory. Through these conceptual structures, the implications of the Hartz reforms are analysed and discussed. I postulate that the Hartz reforms have unequally affected women in eastern Germany, and that they are disadvantaged with respect to employment, care and opportunity. Through the analysis of the reforms, a conceptualisation of their effects as partially furthering and impeding female equality and autonomy emerges. Consequently, due to the varying effects and implications the Hartz reforms cannot jointly be evaluated, but are rather distinguished by their positive and negative effects in relation to eastern German women. Finally, it is argued that the Hartz II reform and aspects of the Hartz IV reform impede gender equality and female autonomy, whilst the Hartz I reform and other elements of the Hartz IV reform support gender equality with respect to equality of opportunity.

Book Synopsis Regional Employment Effects of the Hartz-reforms by : Lukas Hörnig
Download or read book Regional Employment Effects of the Hartz-reforms written by Lukas Hörnig and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 2003 and 2005, the German government passed an unprecedented package of labor market reforms, commonly known as the Hartz-reforms. This led to a "labor market miracle" with sharply declining unemployment rates. This paper examines these reforms at the regional level and provides a comprehensive picture of whether the reforms have exacerbated or reduced regional disparities. I apply a regional difference-in-differences framework commonly used in the minimum wage evaluation literature to analyze the effect of the reforms on employment at the county level. The empirical results show that while all counties benefited from the Hartz-reforms, more prosperous counties derived a stronger benefit than those with high unemployment rates. The evidence is stronger for West Germany than for East Germany. Overall, the reforms have not improved economic performance homogeneously, but have actually increased regional disparities.
Book Synopsis Were the Hartz Reforms Responsible for the Improved Performance of the German Labour Market? by : Metin Akyol
Download or read book Were the Hartz Reforms Responsible for the Improved Performance of the German Labour Market? written by Metin Akyol and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 2005 to 2011 employment rose and unemployment rates declined considerably in Germany. This favourable development followed the labour market reforms initiated in 2003, and there has been a tendency to attribute the improved labour market performance to those reforms. Causal micro-evaluations of the various measures, however, show hardly any effects on variables that can be related to employment. Rather, it seems that employment increased in response to a process of wage moderation that had already begun in the 1990s. It is possible that this moderation was itself partially a product of the reforms, but this needs further investigation.

Book Synopsis Hartz and Minds: Happiness Effects of Reforming an Employment Agency by : Max Deter
Download or read book Hartz and Minds: Happiness Effects of Reforming an Employment Agency written by Max Deter and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the labor market reforms around 2005, known as the Hartz reforms, Germany has experienced declining unemployment rates. However, little is known about the reforms' effect on individual life satisfaction of unemployed workers. This study applies difference-in-difference estimations and finds a decrease in life satisfaction after the reforms that is more pronounced for male unemployed in west Germany. The effect is driven by income and income satisfaction, but not by the unemployment rate. Also unemployed persons who exogenously lost their jobs are affected by the reforms. In line with the structure of the reforms, the effect is stronger on long-term and involuntarily unemployed persons.
