Active labour-market policy (ALMP)

Labour market policies that focus on stimulating employment and job creation through, for example, public works schemes, hiring subsidies, vocational training and retraining, and the promotion of small and medium enterprises and self-employment.



Active labour market policies (ALMP) are public interventions which are explicitly targeted at groups of persons with difficulties in the labour market. These policies include Public Employment Services or other publicly funded services for jobseekers.

Policies that provide labour market integration to job seekers (usually the unemployed, but also underemployed or employed individuals looking for better jobs). They include employment and training services (job search assistance, job brokering, labour market information, training and retraining) and job creation measures (e.g. public works, community services, enterprise creation, self-employment) and employment subsidies for particular population groups.
