Beschäftigungsfördernde Maßnahmen für arbeitsfähige Sozialhilfeempfänger – Die Sicht der Teilnehmer

The results of measures to improve the employment prospects of welfare recipients are rather discouraging with respect to their core intention; many participants transit after the measure again into unemployment. Still (nevertheless) the majority of former participants surveyed by the IWH report a subjective evaluation, because the measure helped them to readjust to the daily routine of work. For many participants the ending of isolation and their regain of (improvement) of their selfesteem and self-confidence was important.
