摘要

许多经济合作与发展组织国家在劳动力市场计划方面投入巨资,以延长职业生涯。虽然积极的劳动力市场计划经常受到评估,但人们对在经济上支持失业老人的被动计划却知之甚少。我们将重点放在后者上,调查那些参加了确保被解雇的老年人在领取正常失业救济金的同时还能获得公司补贴的制度的候选人的雇用机会。因此,我们进行了一个情景实验,让真正的招聘人员对虚构的应聘者进行评估,这些应聘者在有公司补贴和没有公司补贴的制度下失业的时间长短不一。由于招聘人员会对应聘者的可雇佣性和生产率进行评估,因此我们可以确定潜在的机制。总体而言,我们没有发现雇主方面的污名化会阻碍该计划中的老年失业者再就业。相反,长期失业者甚至能从这一制度中获益,因为它减轻了长期失业者,尤其是男性长期失业者经常受到的鄙视。具体地说,当他们领取补助金并仍在申请时,招聘人员对他们的评价会更温和--尤其是在灵活性方面。

A poisoned gift? The hireability signals of an income-support program for the senior unemployed
Many Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries invest heavily in labor-market programs to prolong careers. Although active labor-market programs have frequently been evaluated, less is known about passive programs supporting unemployed seniors financially. We focus on the latter by investigating the hiring opportunities of candidates who partake in a regime that ensures dismissed seniors a company supplement alongside regular unemployment benefits. Therefore, we conduct a scenario experiment in which genuine recruiters evaluate fictitious candidates who have spent varying durations unemployed in regimes with and without the company supplement. Because recruiters evaluate candidates' hireability and productivity perceptions, we can identify underlying mechanisms. Overall, we find no evidence of employer-side stigma hindering the re-employment of seniors unemployed in the program. Conversely, longer-term unemployed even benefit from this regime because it mitigates regular stigmatization of long-term unemployment, especially for men. Specifically, recruiters judge them more mildly – particularly regarding flexibility – when they receive the supplement and still apply.

期刊介绍: Demographic variables such as fertility, mortality, migration and family structures notably respond to economic incentives and in turn affect the economic development of societies. Journal of Demographic Economics welcomes both empirical and theoretical papers on issues relevant to Demographic Economics with a preference for combining abstract economic or demographic models together with data to highlight major mechanisms. The journal was first published in 1929 as Bulletin de l’Institut des Sciences Economiques. It later became known as Louvain Economic Review, and continued till 2014 to publish under this title. In 2015, it moved to Cambridge University Press, increased its international character and changed its focus exclusively to demographic economics.
