The role of ALMPs in reaching people in need of support and addressing their needs.

The State Employment Agency (SEA), the public employment service of Latvia, plays a crucial role in using active labour market policies (ALMPs) to connect people with jobs. This includes meeting the needs of jobseekers, as well as persons at risk of employment. This chapter assesses how the SEA's services and measures reach people in need of ALMPs and provide them with appropriate support. The chapter does this by analysing rich administrative microdata including detailed information on ALMP participation, unemployment histories, social insurance receipt, and earnings histories.
