Impact Evaluation of Wage Subsidies and Training for the Unemployed in Slovenia

The report uses rich administrative data from different registers in Slovenia to evaluate the impact of the main training and wage subsidy (employment incentive) programmes. The analysis examines a range of outcomes related to labour market integration and assesses how the programmes affect different population groups. It finds a positive, sustained impact on employment and earnings. This report on Slovenia is the seventeenth in a series of country reports on policies to connect people with better jobs. It has been undertaken within the framework of the OECD's project with the European Commission to help countries improve the quality of administrative data and their use in the evaluation of the outcomes and effectiveness of labour market programmes. The report is written jointly by the OECD and the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion of the European Commission.
