Career changes and active labour market program participation
| Resumo: | This thesis explores the efficacy of Active Labor Market Policies (ALMPs) in Portugal focusing on the Vida Activa (VA) program. It tries to unveil demographic patterns among participants and assesses the program's employment outcomes. The results reveal that participants were predominantly older adults, females, and individuals seeking to up-skill rather than re-skill. Educational attainment and the desire for a different job negatively affected participation, while prior occupational alignment positively influenced it. The survival analysis indicated higher hazard rates for females and foreigners, suggesting lock-in and competition effects affecting employment outcomes. |
