What impact for non-curricular internships? - IRPET
In summary
1. The problem
Youth unemployment has a large structural component
In Italy the school-to-work transition is slow and hard (Pastore, 2017). This problem contributes
to explain the high level of youth unemployment. In Italy, and in Tuscany, the structural
component of youth unemployment is connected to the misalignment between educational
provision and productive skills requirement. This mismatch explains around 40 percent of the
observed unemployed (Irpet 2017)
 2. The measure to facilitate the entry of young people into work
Giovanisì project
The Tuscany Region, as part of the Giovanisì project, grants private firms to receive a
contribution of 300 euros if they activate non-curricular internships with young people between
18 and 29 years old. The duration of the training period is six months
3. The evaluation exercise: key findings
Non curricular internships improves employment opportunities of young jobseekers
They are effective stepping-stones into a work, although not necessarily lead to a regular work
Internships effectiveness depends on participants characteristics
Effectiveness is more relevant for participants without previous working experiences. As a
whole, internships are more effective for youngest people (18-29 aged) with worst employment
chances, while they are less useful for those easier to relocate in the labour market
In summary
Internees have faster transition to work and enduring careers
Compared to other contractual forms, internees have shorter waiting time for a
subsequent hiring and longer employment spells: if first job seekers, they spend more days
in employment than non internees (considering 18 months subsequent their entry in the
labour market).
4.
The evaluation exercise: Data Base
Analysis relies on administrative data, using: a) the dataset on European Social Fund (ESF)
activities; b) the dataset on unemployed signed up by Public Employment Services; c) the
labour market flows information system (hirings, transformations, extensions and
terminations of dependent contracts). All data refers to Tuscany (Italy) for the period
2012-2014.
5.
The evaluation exercise: methodology
The evaluation is based on non experimental control group design. Exploiting
administrative data, impact estimates are obtained controlling for initial conditions
through statistical matching (propensity score matching).

Questions and techniques

       RESEARCH QUESTIONS                   STATISTIC TECHNIQUES

1. Has internships improved young          Propensity score matching
   people to enter the labor market?
   And who benefit the most?
2. What happens to trainees once
   their employment relationship has             Cox regression
   ceased? Do they find a new job         Linear parametric regression
   faster? Do they work even longer?
3. Is the effect of training persistent    Propensity score matching
   over time?
