The effects of retirement and labour market policies in Belgium
Using Belgian administrative data, we investigate the impact of retirement and labour market policies on activating and maintaining people in employment. We focus on policies aimed at increasing the labour market participation of older workers through retirement incentives, on the one hand, and providing training to the unemployed to enhance their skills for employment, on the other hand. The evaluated policies affecting the public pension system and early retirement schemes are found to be effective in maintaining people in employment. Training programs have a strong and persistent effect on the job-finding rate of the unemployed after the completion of training. This effect is found to be large enough to compensate the lock-in effect of the training.JEL classification: C41, D91, H55, J14, J21, J24, J26, J64, J68
期刊介绍:
Créée en 1961 par André et Monique Huybrechts, Reflets et perspectives de la vie économique est la principale revue belge d’économie appliquée, publiée en langue française. À la fois de haute tenue et non-technique, à la conjonction de la théorie et de la réalité, la revue est consacrée à l’économie politique au sens large, en intégrant les dimensions européenne et internationale. Ouverte à toutes les opinions, elle laisse à ses collaborateurs le choix de leurs positions et aux lecteurs le soin de juger. Permettre aux collaborateurs, issus du monde académique ou d’ailleurs.
