(1) to generate much-needed empirical knowledge of current work inclusion practices directed at vulnerable, young jobseekers nationwide, notably in terms of how such practices manifest in low-income segments of the labour market; and
(2) to engage social partners in collaborative dialogue geared towards organisational workplace reforms that forge both efficient and equitable means of including vulnerable young jobseekers.
The secondary objectives of the project are:
(1) to shed novel empirical light on the design and workings of active labour market policies today;
(2) to identify the signal features of workplaces that help or hinder the successful and sustainable inclusion of vulnerable youth; and
(3) to translate the project's empirical findings into solution-oriented policy proposals and disseminate these to key stakeholders, in Norway and beyond.
