Submitted article brings evidence from administrative data on registered unemployed in Slovakia. This data is explored to evaluate a training programme which is a part of the portfolio of active labour market measures provided by Slovak governmental bodies. To evaluate the programme, we look at individuals’ chances of getting a job, during the period of 15 months after undertaking the programme. Performance on this indicator is compared between participants and a control group, which is selected ex post using the propensity scores matching approach. The results reveal evidence on negative average treatment effects on the treated, when examined for Slovakia and Bratislava district, where over the half of the trainings is provided. Since the results are contradictory when compared across regions, negative effect of the training measure on employability of participants can be assigned to mistakes in its implementation.

Submitted article deals with the problem of over-education. It offers a brief overview of existing explanations. It introduces a method of over-education measurement based on internationally used classifications ISCO and ISCED. The article brings also some evidence on over-education measured by this method. The analysis is focused on over-education of workers with a degree, which becomes especially interesting in the light of the tertiary education expansion. The question is, in what sense does over-education refer to the supply-demand relations on the labour market. International comparisons of over-education in European countries give some partial answers.

This article brings figures on the development of private returns to education in Slovakia from 1984 to 2009. We use EU-SILC micro data referring to the period 2004 – 2009 to count the returns to education, using Mincerian regression methodology. The standard formulation of the equation was used to allow comparisons with earlier studies. The development of returns to education is put into the context of recent tertiary education expansion in Slovakia. The results show an initial increase in returns to education between 1984 and 1995, which can be linked to the transition mechanisms. After 1995 the private returns to education in Slovakia remained stable, what means that the tertiary education expansion is not visible when looking at the overall private returns to education in Slovakia.

This paper evaluates the impact of two active labour market measures providing financial contributions to cover costs related to spatial mobility of the unemployed. One supports daily commuting and the other resettlement. For the purpose of evaluation, administrative data from the obligatory social insurance database and the official register of the unemployed were linked. Three indicators of outcome are identified, commuting time, the income of individuals and employment after the end of support. The richness of the data allowed us to use propensity score matching in order to rule out possible selectivity issues. After achieving satisfactory balance, we have yielded comprehensive and robust, significant positive effects of both of the measures under evaluation. The estimated impact differs regionally and is based on the individual characteristics of the beneficiaries.
