Abstract

Activation policies to promote self-sufficiency among recipients of welfare and other types of benefits are becoming more common in many welfare states. We evaluate a law change in Norway making welfare receipt conditional on participation in an activation program for all welfare recipients below the age of 30. Analysing the program's staggered implementation across municipalities with several modern event study estimators, we estimate that the law change had quite precise 0-effects on benefit receipt, work and education. We also do not find any effects on the probability of being out of work or of being in employment, education or labour market programs. Qualitative evidence suggests that the zero effect may be due to the law change only impacting the participation of recipients with low expected gain from activation.

强制要求年轻福利领取者激活
在许多福利州,促进福利和其他类型福利领取者自给自足的激活政策越来越普遍。我们评估了挪威的一项法律变更,该法律规定福利领取以参加针对所有30岁以下福利领取者的激活计划为条件。我们用几个现代事件研究估算器分析了该计划在各市镇的交错实施情况,估计法律变化对福利领取、工作和教育产生了相当精确的0影响。我们也没有发现对失业或就业、教育或劳动力市场计划的可能性有任何影响。定性证据表明,零效应可能是由于法律变化只影响了预期激活收益较低的接受者的参与。
