Dieser Beitrag analysiert die Wirksamkeit der Förderung beruflicher Weiterbildung im Rah-men der aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik vor und nach den Hartz-Reformen. Ergebnisse der bei flächendeckenden Arbeitsmarktreformen in Deutschland erstmals offiziell durchgeführten Wirkungsanalyse deuten auf sehr unterschiedliche Effizienz verschiedener Maßnahmetypen. Vor Inkrafttreten der Reform waren insbesondere lange Maßnahmen mit anerkanntem Be-rufsabschluss unwirksam. Danach hat sich die Effizienz fast aller Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen spürbar verbessert. Dies beruht auf besserem Qualitätsmanagement, stärkerem Wettbewerb unter den Bildungsträgern und mehr Konsumentensouveränität.
This paper analyzes the effectiveness of occupational training programs for the unemployed before and after the substantial amendments in German labor market legislation known as Hartz reforms. Based on the official evaluation of the reforms, we show that program impacts vary much across different types of training. Before the reform, especially long-term training to a new occupation was not effective. It appears that the effectiveness of most training measures has substantially improved after the reform. This is due to the introduction of better quality management, stronger competition among the suppliers of training, and more freedom of choice for the unemployed.
