Die Bedeutung der beruflichen Weiterbildung für die Arbeitsmarktintegration von Geflüchteten
The existing literature describes the long-term positive effects of vocational training measures on various labor market indicators. However, it is still unclear to what extent the promotion of continuing vocational training can contribute to the labor market integration of refugees. Julia Bredtmann and Lisa Sofie Höckel therefore use the special situation of refugee migration since 2015 to examine the short and medium-term effects of vocational training participation on the labor market integration of refugees using administrative data and a propensity score method. They find that participation in a training measure has a positive effect on the probability of employment and the level of wages earned. In addition, they point to different effects for different groups of training participants, for example in relation to the gender and age of the refugees.
