Youth unemployment and active labor market policies in Europe (2016, background): “Summary: In summary, the evaluation evidence suggests that job search assistance programs exhibit a similar effectiveness for youth as they do for the overall working population (Kluve, 2010).”
Retaining through training even for older workers (2013, neutral): “Either training does not increase job ﬁnding rates signiﬁcantly or even modest negative effects are found (see also Kluve (2010) for a recent overview study).”
Labor Market Effects of Unemployment Insurance Design (2014, neutral): “Kluve (2010) presents a meta-analysis of 137 ALMP evaluation studies in Europe ﬁnding that simple non-expensive programs with clear incentives for unemployed workers work best.”
Unobservable, but unimportant? The relevance of usually unobserved variables for the evaluation of labor market policies☆ (2017, background): “1 See Heckman et al. (1999) for a survey of the ALMP evaluation literature and the early debate on the LaLonde (1986) study; see Kluve (2010) and Card et al.

The effectiveness of active labour market policies: A meta-analysis (2019, neutral): “However, given the large set of differences between previous meta-analyses (for example, Card et al. (2010, 2017) and Kluve (2010)) and our meta-analysis, it is difficult to determine exactly where this difference comes from.”
What Works? A Meta Analysis of Recent Active Labor Market Program Evaluations (2015, neutral): “Kluve and A. Weber (2010). "Active Labour Market Policy Evaluations: A Meta analysis.”
Segmentation (2019, background): “Again, these policies increase segmentation and have disappointing evaluations in terms of its effectiveness to promote the return to work of unemployed workers (Kluve 2010).”
The Impact of Vocational Training for the Unemployed: Experimental Evidence from Turkey (2014, neutral): “Lechner and Wunsch (2009) find German training programs to be more effective when carried out during times when unemployment rates are higher and Kluve (2010) finds in his meta-analysis that program effects tend to be higher when unemployment rates are higher.”
Entrepreneurship Programs in Developing Countries: A Meta Regression Analysis (2013, methodology): “McKenzie and Woodruff (2013) provide narrative reviews on business training programs and find that their overall impact is generally small and that a knowledge gap exists in understanding what programs work better and how.”
