Gudrun Nachtschatt & Peter Oberbichler Indicators - calculation How to calculate the indicators for the benchmarking procedure Vienna

2 Currently the benchmarking procedure is based on 7 indicators  Transition from unemployment to employment  Transition from unemployment to employment < 6 months  Transition from training to employment  Access to vacancies through PES information systems  Filling vacancies  Jobseekers satisfaction  Employers satisfaction

3 Calculation of Indicators The indicators are result of relations of process data e.g.  % of unemployed going back into work within 6 month of unemployment  % of participants of training measures going back into work within 6 month out of all participants of training measures Starting point for the calculation of the indicators are defined process data concerning jobseeker (Population – POPs) and employers (Vacancies – VACs)

4 From process data to comparable indicators (Population - POP) POP 0: Entrance into unemployment POP 1: Jobseekers POP 2: Participating in training POP 3: Deregistration of jobseekers POP 4: Deregistration < 6 months POP 5: Terminating training POP 6: Deregistration and transition to employment POP 7: Transition to employment < 6 months POP 8: Employment after training

5 From process data to comparable indicators (Vacancies - VAC) VAC 1: Economic wide vacancies VAC 2: PES posted vacancies VAC 3: Accessible vacancies VAC 4: Posted vacancies filled VAC 5: Posted vacancies filled within 4 weeks VAC 6: Posted vacancies filled with PES-candidate VAC 7: Posted vacancies filled with PES-candidate within four weeks
