Unemployment duration and the Restart effect: some experimental evidence

Article Abstract:

The Restart program in the UK has resulted in the reduction of unemployment duration. The program consists of interviews with long-term unemployed workers and imposes cancellation of benefits for those who refuse. The program's data indicate that placement training has minimal effects on the program's objectives while women and other generally unqualified groups opt for signing-off benefits. Despite its positive effect, the program's method is considered unethical in attaining its desired objectives.
