    Abstract: "In order to take regional labour market disparities into account in the management control system, the Federal Employment Agency (BA) utilizes a classification scheme that has been developed for this purpose by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). Local employment agencies are classified into different groups called comparison types. Agencies of one type are similar in terms of attributes that affect the success of labor market policies, but cannot be influenced in the short-term by the local agencies. The previous version of the present classification was now updated after four years. It was also investigated whether current immigration has a significant impact on the regional differences in the integration outcomes and should therefore be included in the classification procedure. The proceedings and results of the new classification are reported here." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract: "The fourth edition of the Arbeitsmarktspiegel shows important developments on the German labour market since the introduction of the statutory minimum wage in Germany. Based on preliminary forecasts for January and February 2017, we also observe current developments following the minimum wage increase from EURO 8.50 to EURO 8.84 on January 1, 2017. Overall employment is continuously increasing two years after the introduction of the minimum wage, mainly due to an increase in employment subject to social security. The number of marginal employees, which had decreased considerably after the introduction of the minimum wage in 2015, has since continued to follow a slightly declining path. As to the minimum wage increase in 2017, the preliminary data for January and February 2017 so far do not suggest any effects on employment. The monthly changes from marginal employment to employment subject to social security, which had shown a short-term increase by about 100 percent after the introduction of the minimum wage, do not show any significant alteration between December 2016 and January 2017. Next to employment trends in general, the Arbeitsmarktspiegel examines developments for specific subgroups of the labour market, especially differences with regard to gender, industry, and region. Three editions of the Arbeitsmarktspiegel have been released so far. This research report represents an updated version with partly varying topics." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract: "The research paper analyses the job quality of employees who receive supplemental basic income support. In contrast to previous studies that mainly considered formal job characteristics, the focus is on how employees subjectively perceive their job situation. In particular, different aspects of the intrinsic job quality and job strain are examined. We compare employees receiving welfare benefits with non-recipients using data from the panel study 'Labour Market and Social Security' (PASS). In a multivariate analysis we, first, explore the determinants of psycho-social strain at work. Second, we investigate how work-related job strain and other job characteristics are related to on-the-job search. The findings highlight the fact that the work context of benefit recipients provides rather unfavourable conditions for continued employment. It is also shown that psycho-social strain at work favours on-the-job search of both employed benefit recipients and non-recipients." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
