Selective targeting and unemployed: The implication of behavioral criteria in public assistance eligibility to enable transition to work
2020
Abstract
This study analyses behavioural criteria in public assistance programs under selective targeting to understand young third-country immigrants' (TCIs) transition to work in Austria, Finland and Czech Republic. Unemployed young TCIs in this study are non-EU nationals who voluntarily and legally move to one of the EU member states with visa and residence permits (European Union, 2008).
The main research question of this study is: How do behavioural criteria in the realm of public assistance programs under selective targeting enable young third-country national transition to work? The sub questions are: How does the criteria contrast and (b) what is the implication for immigrants?
