Abstract	"Government subsidized retraining programs are popular measures in Germany to improve the labor market opportunities of unemployed job-seekers by providing qualifications that are in demand on the labor market. While retraining leading to a vocational degree usually entails horizontal occupational mobility, its effect on vertical, i.e. upward occupational mobility is not clear. Moreover, if (horizontal) occupational mobility is an alternative to regional mobility in the search process of the unemployed, participation in the program may make it less likely that an unemployed person will move. Using a new approach from the machine learning literature, we are the first to look at the effect of retraining on the qualitative dimension of upward occupational mobility and regional mobility. We find that retraining participation significantly increases upward occupational mobility and decreases regional mobility. Furthermore, we find heterogeneous effects between unemployed job seekers closer and more distant to the labor market." The study refers to the period 2013-2019. (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku)..
