Pierre Cahuc et al., « The Difficult School-to-Work Transition of High School Dropouts: Evidence from a Field Experiment », HAL SHS (Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société), ID : 10.3368/jhr.56.1.0617-8894R2
We investigate the effects of the labor market experience of high school dropouts four years after leaving school by sending fictitious résumés to real job postings in France. Compared to those who have stayed unemployed since leaving school, the callback rate is not raised for those with employment experience, whether it is subsidized or nonsubsidized, if there is no training accompanied by skill certification. We find no stigma effect associated with subsidized work experience. Moreover, training accompanied by skill certification improves youth prospects only when the local unemployment rate is sufficiently low, which occurs in one-fifth of the commuting zones only.
