Evaluating Latvia's Active Labour Market Policies
This report on Latvia is the fifth country study published in a series of reports
looking into how policies connect people with jobs. It focuses on Latvia's long-term
unemployed and those at risk of long-term unemployment. The report analyses linked
administrative microdata to evaluate quantitatively the impact of activation policies
elaborated in Latvia’s Inclusive Employment Strategy 2015-2020. More specifically,
it assesses the effectiveness of training measures, employment subsidies and a programme
promoting regional mobility. This report derives policy lessons from the empirical
results to help the Latvian authorities adjust the activation strategies and measures
in order to strengthen labour market participation of the unemployed and improve their
labour market outcomes, helping them move into more productive and better quality
jobs.
