The impact of participation in job creation schemes in turbulent times
2017, Labour EconomicsCitation Excerpt :The evidence is similarly scarce when considering other transformation countries. One exception is Lubyova and van Ours (1999), who evaluate JCSs for the time from 1991 to 1996 in Slovakia. They find positive effects on the job finding probability for JCSs in the public sector, while JCSs in the private sector that typically had a longer duration seem to reduce the exit rate to regular work.

2004, Journal of Comparative EconomicsCitation Excerpt :The two most important consisted of subsidized jobs, i.e. socially purposeful jobs (SPJ) and publicly useful jobs (PUJ), and involved a substantial number of people. In 1995, 47,000 workers started working in a SPJ and 44,000 started working in a PUJ (Lubyova and van Ours, 1999). Throughout the period, SPJ created more jobs and required higher expenditures than PUJ.
