Can the unemployed be trained to care for the elderly? The effects of subsidized training in elderly care
研究了德国11.5年间对失业者进行养老护理补贴培训的效果，发现短期和长期培训均显著提升长期就业率，约5%的养老护理员曾是受训失业者。
Demographic change has increased the need for elderly care. Training unemployed workers might be one way to increase the supply of elderly care nurses. This study analyzes the effectiveness of subsidized training for unemployed individuals in the elderly care professions in Germany over 11.5 years. We find that short further training and long retraining courses significantly increase workers' long-term employment. As approximately 25% to 50% of trained nurses have permanent jobs in the care sector, we estimate that approximately 5% of all employed nurses are formerly trained unemployed workers.
