This policy brief summarises the results of a comprehensive counterfactual impact evaluation and cost-benefit analysis of Slovenia’s four main active labour market policies (ALMPs). The scope of the evaluation extends beyond the labour market outcomes typically examined in such evaluations: in addition to earnings and employment probabilities, it also evaluates the effects of the ALMPs on health and social outcomes, as well as the extent to which ALMPs are facilitating the green and digital transitions. The analysis is based on detailed, individual-level data from multiple administrative databases. Similar evaluations could also help identify the potentially wide-ranging effects of ALMPs in other countries.
