“…Systematic review methods, following the Campbell Collaboration (2014) guidelines, were used to conduct this study and meta-analytic methods were used to synthesize study results. The protocol for this review is registered and published in the Campbell Collaboration library (Filges, Geerdsen, Smedslund, Knudsen, & Jørgensen, 2013).…”

“…As planned (outlined in the protocol, Filges et al, 2013), we used random effects models to estimate the overall effect as ALMPs vary in their content and deal with diverse populations of participants and labor market conditions. Analysis was conducted in RevMan5, except the meta-regression which was conducted in STATA.…”

“…In summary, it was possible to analyze only one moderator (''type of ALMP'') of the five moderators we had planned to investigate (Filges et al, 2013), and then only for the outcomes mentioned above. Several of the included studies provided results separated by type of ALMP.…”

Objective: This review evaluates the effectiveness of Active Labour Market Programme (ALMP) participation on employment status for unemployment insurance recipients. Methods and Analysis: We followed Campbell Collaboration guidelines to conduct a systematic review. Results: A total of 73 studies met the inclusion criteria and were critically appraised by the review authors. The available evidence suggests that there is a general effect of participating in ALMP. The findings are mixed, however, depending on the approach used to investigate the effect, with no effect found of being assigned to ALMP participation at a particular moment. Authors' Conclusions: The available evidence does suggest that there is an effect of participating in ALMP, but the effect is small and we found no effect of being assigned to ALMP participation at a particular moment.

Background A fairer economy is increasingly recognised as crucial for tackling widening social, economic and health inequalities within society. However, which actions have been evaluated for their impact on inclusive economy outcomes is yet unknown. Objective Identify the effects of political, economic and social exposures, interventions and policies on inclusive economy (IE) outcomes in high-income countries, by systematically reviewing the review-level evidence. Methods We conducted a review of reviews; searching databases (May 2020) EconLit, Web of Science, Sociological Abstracts, ASSIA, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, Public Health Database, Embase and MEDLINE; and registries PROSPERO, Campbell Collaboration and EPPI Centre (February 2021) and grey literature (August/September 2020). We aimed to identify reviews which examined social, political and/or economic exposures, interventions and policies in relation to two IE outcome domains: (i) equitable distribution of the benefits of the economy and (ii) equitable access to the resources needed to participate in the economy. Reviews had to include primary studies which compared IE outcomes within or between groups. Quality was assessed using a modified version of AMSTAR-2 and data synthesised informed by SWiM principles. Results We identified 19 reviews for inclusion, most of which were low quality, as was the underlying primary evidence. Most reviews (n = 14) had outcomes relating to the benefits of the economy (rather than access to resources) and examined a limited set of interventions, primarily active labour market programmes and social security. There was limited high-quality review evidence to draw upon to identify effects on IE outcomes. Most reviews focused on disadvantaged groups and did not consider equity impacts. Conclusions Review-level evidence is sparse and focuses on ‘corrective’ approaches. Future reviews should examine a diverse set of ‘upstream’ actions intended to be inclusive ‘by design’ and consider a wider range of outcomes, with particular attention to socioeconomic inequalities.
