| Title | Employment Program Monitoring and Assessment at the EU Level and in Hungary |
| Summary | This thesis gives a comparative perspective on public work as one of the main active labor programs used after the economic crises of 2008 in the European Union in general and in Hungary in particular. Hungary has chosen different redistribution and policy making in welfare compared to other countries having similar historical background in the region. Two main inquiries are to be carried out. Whether the intended objectives of public work programs are met and at what cost? What circumstances and design features would explain effective outcomes of public work programs in Hungary? While investigating the country-specific factors of employment policy formulation of Hungary, thesis offers different ways of program assessments and compares its benchmarking methodology with one another. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods are used to find that the objectives of public work programs haven’t changed much in the last 24 years in case of Hungary. Furthermore, thesis fits into argument about public work program assessment, as this form is the least effective but most costly active labor market program used in long-term. Last part will offer policy recommendation for change in employment policy formulation and its evaluation methodology. |
