Rückkehr ins Berufsleben nach familienbedingter Unterbrechung: Befunde der Evaluation der zweiten Förderperiode des ESF-Programms "Perspektive Wiedereinstieg" des Bundesministeriums für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend

"In collaboration with the German Federal Employment Office, the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth has continued the pilot program 'Women's Labour Market Re-entry Perspectives', which is co-financed by the European Social Fund. The aim of the program is to support the re-entry of women into the labour market after a family-related absence from work of at least three years. The Institute for Employment Research presents an evaluation study of the program that is composed of quantitative and qualitative elements. A first topic of the quantitative study is the process of returning to the labour market, and its supporting and restraining factors. Second, selection into the program is analysed by comparing participating women with a randomly drawn group of women who are registered at the Federal Employment Agency with the aim to re-enter the labour market (typical non-participants). Third, the effectiveness of the program is analysed by comparing participating women with a comparison group of similar women who are registered as searching for a job at the Federal Employment Agency after a family-related break (similar non-participants). Particular attention is given to a re-entry into (nearly) full-time work and the support women obtain from their partner and household-related services." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
