WP4 of the DIAMOND Project dives deep into the economic effectiveness of re- and upskilling programs. By combining meta-analysis, modeling, and real-world impact evaluation, WP4 aims to guide better policy design and ensure labor market inclusion that truly works.

What Happens in WP4?

1. Meta-Analysis of Re/-Upskilling Programs

We’ll map existing macroeconomic research on the impact of re- and upskilling programs to build a comprehensive knowledge base.

📌Leader: Universidad de Aarhus 🇩🇰

Partners: Freie Universität Berlin 🇩🇪, Universidad RWTH de Aquisgrán 🇩🇪

2. Stochastic Life-Cycle Modelling of Employment Paths

A dynamic life-cycle model will simulate how individuals experience risks (like job loss or mismatches) and how smart training solutions (like MOVE) can mitigate them.

Partners: Freie Universität Berlin 🇩🇪

3. Economic Cost-Benefit Analyses of DIAMOND Solutions

A randomized field experiment will compare traditional training with DIAMOND’s tailored upskilling pathways (GROW & MOVE), evaluating the impact on job applications, wages, and well-being.

4. Policy Redesign for Active Labour Market Policies (ALMP)

We will translate economic insights into actionable policy recommendations and host a policy roundtable to rethink how Europe designs future-proof skills programs.
