Active labor market programs (ALMPs) are widely used to speed up return work among the unemployed. We examine their long-run effects on employment- and health-related outcomes for different target groups, arguing that ALMPs associated with heterogeneous groups may even detrimentally influence mental health most disadvantaged groups. To this end, we use evidence from randomized controlled trials conducted in Denmark 2005–2008, which treatment were exposed intensified active policies form of more frequent compulsory meetings case workers and/or early activation estimate over a period 10 y.

Abstract Much research has shown that implementation behavior of frontline workers and the outcomes public policies depend on encounters between citizens. However, relatively little is known about agency citizens in these encounters. This paper focuses administrative burdens psychological responses to stress as possible determinants citizens' encounter behavior—defined “behavioral efforts employ during preparing for interaction with authorities order master demands encounter.” Combining a framework categorizing state‐encounter theory burdens, we ask whether reflects their perceptions learning, compliance prompt different behaviors?

ABSTRACT A key claim of the administrative burden framework is that vulnerable citizens are more affected by than others. We test this assumption using life events survey in Germany, an official data record covering 10,000 encounters involving 5000 citizens. find support only for psychological costs perceived discrimination, whereas neither compliance nor learning positively associated with vulnerability. On contrary, some groups perceive significantly lower and costs. Post hoc analyses suggest these might feel less exposed to bureaucracy because they use fewer sources information. Further, results also indicate citizens' tolerance toward decreases every additional encounter previous research has missed important distinction between absolute relative burden.

Abstract Administrative burdens appear to influence citizens' perceptions of welfare policies and attitudes toward beneficiaries.

This study offers first systematic analysis evaluation this increasingly central public management concept. Using an ontological-semantic approach, I show that current fails fully directly account for individuals’ onerous experiences. address five interrelated issues, including overlap cost categories conflation state actions with While psychological costs should be retained, argue abandoning other categories.
