LTRI Participants with an improved labour market situation six months after leaving
Persons who are employed when entering ESF support and who, following the support
transited from precarious to stable employment,
and/or from underemployment to full employment,
and/or have moved to a job requiring higher competences/skills/qualifications, entailing more responsibilities,
and/or received a promotion 6 months after leaving the ESF operation.
(ESF Monitoring and Evaluation Guidance Document, June 2015)
Shall be based on a representative sample of all participation records within each investment priority (ESF Monitoring and Evaluation Guidance Document, June 2015)
Does not preclude the collection of data for all participants should Member States choose to do so (Annex D)

3. Improved labour market situation?

4. WHAT TO OBSERVE? IMPROVED LM SITUATION WHAT TO OBSERVE?
transition from precarious to stable employment,
Type of contract, Hours worked
and/or from underemployment to full employment,
Hours worked
movement to a job requiring higher competences/skills/qualifications,
Hourly wage, Monthly wage (income), Position
entailing more responsibilities and promotion.

5. Management Information System
STEP 1. MERGING OF ADMINISTRATIVE DATA
PARTICIPANT DATA
ID number
Job situation
PARTICIPATION DATA
Start / end date
Investment priority / operation
LABOUR MARKET SITUATION
Income (monthly wage, net)
Hours worked (monthly)
Job position (based on job classification)
Management Information System
State Revenue Service

6. 6 months after leaving (2)
STEP 2. CALCULATIONS
Start date (1)
6 months after leaving (2)
Criterion
Method for calculations
Example (real person)
Hours worked
Part time h=>80; Full time h=<81-160; Overtime h=>161+
Hours worked. H1 (start date) is compared to H2 (6 months after leaving).
If H1=<H2, than =1, otherwise 0.
H1 = 176h ( ),
H2 = 24h ( )
H1>H2, thus H = 0 (LM situation not improved)
Job position
4-digit profession code. P1 (start date) is compared to P2 (6 months after leaving)
If P1 =<P2, than =1, otherwise 0.
P1 ( ) = 2142,
P2 ( ) = 1323.
P1 =<P2, thus P = 1 (LM situation improved)
Income (monthly wage, net)
Income (monthly wage, net) A1 (start date) is compared to A2 (6 months after leaving).
Average monthluy income nationwide Avid mēn 1 and Avid mēn 2.
It is tested if
(A2/A1) > ((A vid mēn 2 /A vid mēn 2)/2), if yes =1, otherwise = 0. (50% increase is taken into account).
A1=534 ( )
A2=228 ( )
A vid mēn 1 = 758
A vid mēn 2 = 913
A = 0, because (228/534) < ((913/758)/2) (LM situation not improved)

8. ADMINISTRATIVE DATA VS. SURVEY OF PARTICIPANTS
SOME ISSUES TO BE CONSIDERED
Data to be cleaned before calculation
More than one participation?
More than one job?
Working overtime?
Monthly income or 3-months average?
ADMINISTRATIVE DATA VS. SURVEY OF PARTICIPANTS
… AND NOT ONLY LATVIANS …
