Changes in the total and average number of participants in ALMPs Table 2 shows that on average 2.6 per cent of the economically active population beneï¬ted from different individual active labour market policies in 2001.In2006thisï¬gurewasonly1.5percent.Thisleadstotwoconclusions. On the one hand, the unemployment rate would have been proportionately higher had jobless or redundant workers not received preventive or active support. On the other hand, the role of active policies in mitigating labour market tensions decreased in a period when unemployment started to grow. This aggravated tensions on the labour market instead of alleviating them by exerting an anti-cyclical effect on labour market processes.

This made up 6.8 per cent of the total average participation in 2001, and increased to 12.6 per cent in 2006. This increase was largely the result of a decline in the total number of participants in ALMPs.

- 2.4.2. Accreditation system Businesses employing disabled workers must, since July 1, 2007,22 be accredited in order to be eligible for employment support. This is basically an assessment procedure that is initiated by the ï¬rm in order to demonstrate its competence to carry out employment rehabilitation and thus be eligible for employment support. At the end of the assessment procedure businesses can be awarded basic, rehabilitation or advanced-level certiï¬cates based on the number of disabled workers and quality of rehabilitation activities. The basic certiï¬cate is valid for 5 years, the rehabilitation certiï¬cate for 3 years and the advanced-level certiï¬cate for 2 years. The latter allows the organisation to use the term “sheltered ï¬rmâ€.

- According to follow-up studies 60–65 per cent of people from wage subsidy schemes are employed by the same employer 3 months following the end of the required employment period.4 The rate of people who are awarded a permanent contract markedly decreased from the 70 per cent observed in the mid-1990s. This is explained by changes in the composition of beneï¬ciaries; amovetowardsmoredifficult-to-placeunemployedpeoplewhowereincreasingly the explicit target group of these programmes.

The reporting obligation doesn’t refer to the employment of the citizens of the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Cyprus and Malta.

- Data collection also covered companies of 10-19 since 1995, and companies of 5-9 have been covered since 2000, where the companies actually involved in data collection are selected at random (ca. 20 per cent) and the selected ones have to provide information about all their full-time employees. Data on basic wages and earnings structure can only be retrieved from these surveys in Hungary, thus it is practically these huge, annually generated databases that can serve as the basis of the wage reconciliation negotiations conducted by the social partners. In the budgetary sector all budgetary institutions provide information, regardless of their size, in a way that the decisive majority of the local budgetary institutions – the ones that are included in the TAKEHcentralpayrollaccountingsystem-provide fully comprehensive information, and the remaining budgetary institutions provide information only abouttheiremployeeswhowerebornoncertaindays (regarded as the sample).

- It should be noted in advance that the active labour market programmes in this analysis include instruments deï¬ned by the Employment Act and administered by the county job centres (until the end of 2006), such as labour markettraining,wagesubsidy,businessstart-upsubsidiesfortheunemployed, public work etc. These were the dominant schemes to tackle unemployment in the nineties, however their relevance has been diminishing since 2000 when new labour market services and programmes were introduced that are better designed than these individual measures to help alleviate the complex problems of the long-term unemployed and inactive people. However, even the basic information is lacking to assess the impact of labour market services, and complex labour market programmes are so diverse that even if they were evaluated, general conclusions could not be drawn.

- Source: Labour Market Fund Management Department, Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour. mária frey 140 It has already been pointed out that the number of labour-market interventions falling outside the scope of the Employment Act is increasing, and as a consequence the share of the Employment Sub-Fund within the broader active labour market measures is shrinking. It stood at 88.6 per cent in 2000, but it was only 79.8 per cent in 2006. The other clear trend is the increasing share of the central budget within the Employment Sub-Fund: 12.3 per cent in 2000 and 22 per cent in 2006. This centralisation was most marked in 2002 when 15,000 million Forints were spent on compensating the additional costs of employers in labour intensive sectors arising from the increase in the statutory minimum wage. Since 2003 a substantial share of the Employment Sub-Fund has been spent on job-creation schemes that were re-incorporated in the Employment Act.

Passive measures include both contribution-based beneï¬ts and allowances such as the income-replacement allowance that is currently being phased out or the regular social welfare allowance paid by local governments and ï¬nanced from the LMF. Among the ALMPs community service work – organised by the municipalities for regular social assistance recipients – can also be found, as well as all other LMFfunded measures that serve to prevent unemployment or assist in the return to work.

The subsidy is a universal discount on the compulsory contributions paid by employers. As a result, the employer pays 15 per cent as their contribution on the wage in the ï¬rst year, and 25 per cent in the second year. The discount can be used for wages of up to 150 per cent of the minimum wage for new entrants under 25 years, or in the case of under-30-graduates from higher education for up to 200 per cent of the minimum wage.

The ï¬rst two years had a different beneï¬t allocation system, and the current system, which has been modiï¬ed several times since then, was implemented by the Employment Act of 1991 (Act IV).

The so-called activation rate, that compares the number of participants in ALMPs with the sum increased by the number of registered unemployed, stood around 20 per cent in the early 2000s, then fell to 16.7 by 2004, 14.9 by 2005 and 13.8 per cent in 2006.

- The number of people who beneï¬ted from the reimbursement of contributions was over 10,000 until 2005. This represented around 5 per cent of the totalnumberofparticipantsinALMPs.In2006thetotalandaveragenumber of participants nearly halved because the measure was replaced by a new, universal contribution reduction scheme administered by the Tax and Financial Control Administration Office. The shortcoming of this is that it does not give priority to disadvantaged people and thus might also increase regional labour market disparities because businesses in better-off regions might take up this universal subsidy for contributions disproportionately and there are no mechanisms to prevent this.

- The statutory active labour market policies reduced the number of unemployed persons to a falling extent year by year: in 2001 the average number of participants in ALMPs was nearly 105 thousand, this ï¬gure did not reach 63 thousand in 2006 which indicates a 40-per cent decline (Table 3).

- The system of employment rehabilitation has been undergoing signiï¬cant change since 2005. Important changes were introduced in the employment support of disabled workers. The previous passive aid scheme was replaced by new, active arrangements (wage subsidy, compensation of costs, support for reasonable accommodation in the workplace etc.). The accreditation of rehabilitation enterprises has also been realised.

- Therefore, the real number of participants in a given measure is considerably higherthantheyearlyaverage.Thetotalnumberofparticipantsincludeseverybody who beneï¬ted from ALMPs for at least a day in a given period. Table 4 presents information on this. This shows that the total number of beneï¬ciaries decreased by 30 per cent between 2001–2006. The total number of beneï¬ciaries in ALMPs was three times the average number of participants in the observed period. The speciï¬c proportions were heavily influenced by the length of support. When resources started to shrink, counties responded by cutting down the length of time and amount of support.

- When the income-replacement allowance was phased out in 2000, the scope of the measure was extended to all unemployed persons. Originally the subsidy included full or partial reimbursement of health-care, pension, and unemployment contributions, and later the ï¬xed-sum health care contribution. The take-up of this measure was not high, however it had an important role because the requirements were not as strict as in the case of wage subsidy 5However,theshorttimeperiod isprobablynotadequatetogive a valid feedback on business survival rates. evaluation of active labour market programmes... 153 (for example no continued employment was required).
