Abstract. This paper provides a meta-analysis of microeconometric evaluation studies on the effectiveness of active labor market policies. The analysis is built upon a systematically assembled data set of causal impact estimates from 57 experimental and quasi-experimental studies, providing 654 estimates published between January 1990 and December 2017. We distinguish between the short and longer term impacts in our analysis; at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after program start. After correcting for publication bias and country-specific macroeconomic characteristics, subsidized labor and public employment programs have negative short-term impacts, which gradually turn positive in the longer run. Schemes with enhanced services including job-search assistance and training programs do not have these negative short-term effects, and stay positive from 6 until 36 months after program start.

“…Locating these ideas within welfare contexts that are characterized by weak systems of protection, increased vulnerability and risk for youth (Alegre, Casado, Sanz, & Todeschini, 2015;Walther, 2006) becomes increasingly challenging. There is a distinction to be made between choice and individual decision-making regarding transitions to adulthood: despite young people's biographies becoming progressively individualized, they are not entirely free to determine their own pathways as choices depend also on a range of external resources (Jones, 2009, p. 100).…”

Using the implementation of the Youth Guarantee (YG) in the Italian context (Lombardy) as its point of departure, this article exemplifies the introduction of the YG scheme in national realities. Through review of relevant policy documents, the article identifies a contradiction between the policy model implied through the YG that builds upon a concept of active citizenship and an employment context that in reality offers limited structural opportunities for the enactment of these principles during processes of youth transition. This article will argue that initiatives for youth employment that are de-contextualized and lack a clear vision of youth lives can reinforce the existing order and power imbalances as they offer limited support for young people to develop a sense of success, self-determination and agency in terms of employability.

“…There are quite many studies investigating the regional characteristics of the youth labor market (Adamoniene and Astromskienne, 2013;Alegre et al, 2015;Alzua et al, 2015;Kamimura and Soma, 2013), including those related to Russia (Rubtcova et al, 2015b;Demidova et al, 2015).…”

“…Issues of the interaction between the subjects of the youth labor market have also been examined by researchers. Here, the most thoroughly studied are the issues of the relationship of education (including higher school) and youth employment (Premand et al, 2016;Alegre et al, 2015;Herault and Zakirova, 2015). Researchers also analyze the issues of the state policy on the youth employment and how it influences the functioning of the youth labor market (Alegre et al, 2015;Crepon et al, 2013).…”

The article analyzes the specific aspects of interaction between government, businesses and higher education in the Russian youth labor market. The carried out analysis of documents regulating the youth employment enabled us to identify the basic aspects of state regulation in this sphere that can facilitate the cooperation between businesses and universities. The authors conducted a survey among the competent representatives of higher education and business to investigate how these parties interact when solving the problems of youth employment. The research identifies the main forms of the interaction between business and universities in Russia. The authors concluded that there is a current trend of strengthening interaction between universities and businesses regarding the employment of university graduates, although the state still plays a significant role in regulating their employment.
