Effekter av arbeidsmarkedspolitikk rettet mot ungdom i Nord-Europa -en metaanalyse SAMMENDRAGVi setter sammen resultater fra flere studier i en syntetisk database og gjennomfører en såkalt meta-analyse for å gi et sammenfattende bilde av effekter av arbeidsmarkedstiltak rettet mot ungdom. I alt inngår 425 effektestimater fra 44 forskjellige forskningsarbeider fra Finland, Norge, Sverige, Danmark, Tyskland og Storbritannia i meta-analysen. Våre konklusjoner bekrefter at opplaeringstiltak, lønnstilskudd og forsterket aktivering er forbundet med mer positive effektestimater enn arbeidspraksis og sysselsettingstiltak i offentlig sektor. ABSTRACTWe put together results from many studies in a synthetic database and conduct a so-called meta-analysis to provide a concise picture of the effects of labour market programs aimed at youth. Our data base has 425 observations from 44 different studies covering Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and the UK. Our conclusions confirm that training programs, wage subsidies and intensified activation give rise to more positive effect estimates than work practice and employment measures in the public sector.

The aim of the study has been to examine the impact of diagnosed internalising and externalising behavioural problems on educational attainment. We used a fixed-effect model on rich individual longitudinal register data. The sample consisted of five full cohorts of adolescents (N=242,542). The analyses suggest that compared to their healthy peers, boys and girls with externalising problems have respectively 38 and 40 percentage points lower probability of completing upper secondary school. The comparable numbers for internalising problems are 29 percentage points for boys and 26 percentage points for girls. With regard to the likelihood of attending higher education, for those that completed secondary school, the results show a negative but much smaller impact of mental health disorders than the case was in the analysis of upper secondary school completion.
