Is supported employment effective for Disability Insurance recipients with mental health conditions? Evidence from a randomized experiment in Belgium
通过一项600人的随机实验，评估支持性就业项目对比常规职业康复的效果，发现该项目使比利时伤残保险领取者中患有心理健康问题的人在领取保险期间工作的概率提高7.5个百分点，每月伤残保险金减少110欧元（降幅9.5%）。
We conduct a randomized experiment (n = 600) to evaluate a Supported Employment (SE) program that, through intensive job coaching and follow-along support, aims to increase work activity of Belgian Disability Insurance (DI) recipients with mental health conditions. The control group gets regular vocational rehabilitation. After a 30-month follow-up period, we find that SE increases the probability of working while claiming DI by 7.5 percentage points and reduces the amount of DI benefit received by 110 euros per month (-9.5 percent).
