What gets them going? The effects of activation policies on personal change processes of unemployed youth

Abstract: Activation policies are widely adopted to encourage labour market participation of unemployed youth, and yet they are poorly understood and monitored with regard to the causal mechanisms unfolding through their implementation. Activation schemes are often based on the carrot-andstick logic informed by microeconomic job search theory, but activation occurs through processes which are far more complex and comprises elements of career identity and capability development, among others.

“…Tilbudssideinnsatser, her forstått som aktiveringspolitikk, omfatter programmer og tjenester med mål om å øke arbeidslediges ansettelsesbarhet (employability) og deltakelse i jobb og samfunnsliv (Caswell et al, 2017).

“…Mens for eksempel arbeidstreningstiltak gir lite effekt på unges jobbovergang, er "forsterket aktivering", med tett veiledning, kartlegging og kontroll av jobbsøk, et tiltak som viser positiv effekt (Hardoy et al, 2017;Hyggen et al, 2018). Dette forklares med at deltakere disiplineres til aktivt jobbsøk, men også med at veiledning styrker unges tro på at skole og jobb er realiserbare mål (Hyggen, 2015;Niyadurupola & Esposito, 2021). Positive veiledningseffekter assosieres generelt med individtilpasning og at aktiviteter integreres i et helhetlig tjenestetilbud (Frøyland et al, 2022;Hooley, 2014).…”
