“…A Matthew effect in dual-VET programmes for disadvantaged youth might therefore be particularly detrimental, leading to long-term repercussions on individual well-being and on welfare states, further marginalising already highly vulnerable persons. Previous studies focused e.g., on a French social integration programme for disadvantaged youth (Gomel, Issehnane, & Legendre, 2013), on VET programmes in Belgium (Nicaise, 2000), or on training and employment programmes for disadvantaged individuals (Nicaise & Bollens, 1998). The present research differs from those studies by focusing on a Matthew effect in dual-VET programmes for disadvantaged youth.…”

Since the mid-1970s, research shows that less-disadvantaged individuals more frequently access social policy schemes when compared to their more-disadvantaged counterparts, a phenomenon called the Matthew effect. Through two indepth case studies, based on 60 semi-directive interviews, and document analysis, this study aims to more fully understand the mechanisms leading to a Matthew effect in Swiss Vocational Education and Training (VET) programmes for disadvantaged youth. Indeed, education is key to post-industrial labour markets access, and VET appears to facilitate schoolto-work transitions. A Matthew effect in this policy field might thus lead to particularly detrimental repercussions, and public authorities should be especially eager to contain it. Nevertheless, findings show that, under certain conditions, decision-makers push frontline-workers into cream-skimming practices, causing a Matthew effect. Additionally, structural challenges also lead to a Matthew effect, highlighting the general difficulty of the very mandate: (re-)inserting highly disadvantaged individuals into selective markets. Indeed, in contexts of tight public budgets, service oriented modern Welfare States tread a fine line between empowering and prioritising beneficiaries. Dealing with complex target groups, it seems crucial whether the rationale driving public authorities is more oriented towards credit-claiming or problem-solving: the former increasing and the latter decreasing the incidence of Matthew effects.

“…First, the timeframe is relatively tight. Access to the apprenticeship market is not readily available for most of these youth, and as Gomel, Issehnane and Legendre () demonstrate, youth most removed from the market need a more intense follow‐up in order to access it. Yet, in the present case, the individual distance to the market is not acknowledged by assessment criteria.…”

To increase the chances of integrating youth into labour markets in contemporary European knowledge societies, many policy schemes are geared towards investing in youth's human capital. Since apprenticeship systems are assumed to ease school-to-work transitions, this seems a particularly promising avenue. However, research highlights that social policies often do not reach the most disadvantaged members of society. The aim of this article is to shed light on the reasons and mechanisms causing this phenomenon, called the Matthew effect, through a single, embedded case study of a vocational education and training programme for disadvantaged youth in Switzerland. The findings highlight cream-skimming practices as a coping strategy enabling frontline workers to satisfy strict assessment criteria. A budgetary allocation driven politico-administrative logic 51 promotes such practices as a means to generate solid results, so as to safeguard politicaland thus financialsupport.

“…BruceMeyer (1995) conclut que les dispositifs évalués combinent fréquemment ces régimes de contrainte avec d'autres traitements tels que l'assistance dans la recherche d'emploi, les deux générant des effets qui peuvent être positifs.À ces difficultés, il faut enfin ajouter la délicate question des effets macroéconomiques de l'accompagnement individuel : ce qui est bon pour un individu l'est-il pour la société ? Les programmes d'accompagnement renforcé peuvent générer des « effets de déplacement », lorsque l'amélioration constatée de la situation de certains bénéficiaires se réalise au détriment d'autres prétendants non soumis pour leur part à un accompagnement (ou pour lesquels il échouerait), avec pour résultat un impact nul sur la situation sociale globale(Cahuc et Le Barbanchon, 2010 ;Pallais, 2014 ;Gautié, 2002 ;Crépon et al, 2005 ;Gomel et al, 2013).L'La centralité du logement dans l'accès à une vie autonome a conduit, de longue date, à en faire un enjeu clé des politiques sociales. En dehors de la création de parcs immobiliers à loyers adaptés, c'est principalement par le biais de transferts monétaires (comme les allocations logement) que les États-providence occidentaux ont cherché à réduire les tensions du marché du logement.Les pratiques d'accompagnement au logement ont fait l'objet d'un nombre réduit de recherches.…”
