Employment in the Social Economy as an Alternative to Passive Income Transfers: Experimental Results
The Problem
• Certain regions face sustained periods of high chronic unemployment:
– Often arises from the decline of a core traditional industry
– Jobs are scarce and the local economy lacks diversity
• Unemployment insurance and Welfare only offer passive and partial solutions
• Long-term unemployed face high risks of deteriorating skills and employability
• Training programs not promising in light of poor demand conditions
