Résumé
"This paper estimes the average effect of a binary treatment on the time needed to find a job. Such a treatment is the training public schools program implemented in Seville. The research compares one training group and a control group. Two methods are developed with an interesting database. The first uses an estimator which weights observations by the inverse of the propensity score. This estimator let us conclude that, for participants, the time needed to find a job is reduced in 471 days. The second one is the differences estimator, it let us conclude that the time needed to find a job is reduced in 448 days. The evaluated program works as an active labour market policy with favourable effects on unemployed young people. Compared with other research in Spain, the obtained results show evidence in the same way as most of evaluation but stronger. A similar conclusion is derived from a comparison with international evidence disposable."
