Key elements of activation
Activation models
Liberal model
Social democratic
model
Continental corporatist
model
Mutual obligations principle
Enhanced responsibilities
of the unemployed- Active job search and availability for work in return for income support
Provision of income support
- Access to income support and to public employment services
Key elements of effective activation
- Individualized action-planning
- Focus on high risk prioritization
- Service integration between PES and SA
- Enhanced performance-based sub-contracting
Restricted ALMPs to incentivize jobseeker
Extensive services and high benefit levels and coverage
Individual responsibility to mobilize own assets, with key state role
Operationalizing legislation through 4 main elements of activation

Approach for studying OECD best practices
• Partner with Public Employment Services (PES) in OECD countries to capture best practices on jobseeker profiling1: Stock-taking
• Identify models that could be applicable to Europe and Central Asia (ECA) PES, and test them through analysis of administrative data
2: Adaptation
• Share knowledge with PES in ECA region and explore possible pilots
3: Sharing with clients
• Enhance knowledge of all stakeholders through a Knowledge Brief, analytical paper, and conference4: Dissemination

Key approaches to profiling in OECD
Approaches Description Pros/Cons Country examples
Caseworker-based segmentation
Profiling and referral done primarily by the caseworker
Pros: individual needs
Cons: subjective assessment
German 4-phase model
Time-based segmentation
Segmentation based on threshold in length of unemployment spell
Pros: straightforward
Cons: resource waste, ignores heterogeneity.
Ireland’s “wait-and-see” approach prior to the crisis
Demographic segmentation
Segmentation based on eligibility criteria
Pros: straightforward
Cons: ignores heterogeneity
Swedish Youth Job Program
Statistical segmentation
Segmentation based on statistical analysis using MIS data
Pros: ex-ante equal treatment, early interv., resource rationing
Cons: misidentification
USA’s Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services
Irish profiling system
Behavioral segmentation
Evaluation using behavioral assessment tools
Pros: greater private information
Cons: subjective
German Kompetenzdiagnostik (competence diagnostics)

LOW
HIGH
- More likely to rely on administrative rules and regulations for segmenting jobseekers
- Less caseworker resistance to introducing other analytical tools may help address different constraints
- More likely to rely on caseworker-based diagnostics for segmenting jobseekers- Caseworker resistance to automation may be higher- More time-intensive and resource intensive - Requires higher capacity- However, caseworker’s discretion can be curtailed depending on how binding data
processing is to their decision-making

Relevance to the Western Balkans
• New focus on activation• Descriptive profiling revealed high heterogeneity of
clients in PES • Need to manage and focus scarce resources • Already have a functioning (little exploited) MIS• Can be integrated as part of a larger reform• Main challenge: define specific ALMPs for each client
segment (taking heterogeneity into account)
![Page 29: Advanced Profiling of Unemployed in Public Employment Services A Critical Review of OECD Experiences and Applications for Western Balkans Vienna, March.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b502b550346ae7a8b522a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Key implementation lessons
• Data availability and nature of unemployment determine accuracy and feasibilty of profiling tool
• Apply to critical spot in process management where profiling adds value, not just “another tool”
• Pilot a lot on the ground, prepare clear guidelines to manage implications of tool on day to day case management
• Reduce/manage perceptions of “de professionalization” of case workers, find where it adds value to their work
