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)

4. ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN
… AND NOT ONLY LATVIANS …
SIMPLIFICATION

5. WHAT TO OBSERVE? IMPROVED LM SITUATION WHAT TO OBSERVE?

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, Position

6. SURVEYS vs. ADM. DATA
Representative sample or all participants?
Outsourced?
Low response rates?

7. SOME PROBLEMS RAISED
More than one job?
Both representative sample and data registers?

8. SIMPLIFICATION
MICRO DATA ONLY IF DIRECTLY AIMED

9. That’s it!

10. SOME PRACTICE UP TO NOW
Poland – no administrative data / representative sample? / surveys planned (outsourced?)/ not started yet
England – surveys since late 2016 – mid 2018 / representative sample / response rate around 23% / thinking of using administrative data from mid 2018
Slovenia – no administrative data / surveys planned (outsourced) / representative sample / not started yet
Romania – no administrative data? / surveys planned (outsourced?) /representative sample / not started yet
Sweden – no administrative data / surveys (own?) / (up to now) all participants / response rate 30 – 40%
Estonia – partly administrative data / surveys (Statistics Estonia) / all participants / response rate slightly above 50% / would like to simplify
Greece – no administrative data (administrative data on employed?) / surveys (outsourced?) / all participants or representative sample?
Luxembourg – administrative data, however no access (General Inspection of Social Security) / survey?
Czech Republic – partly administrative data? / survey?
Croatia – partly administrative data ?/ survey for skills? / outsourced? / response rate slightly below 50%
Wales – survey starting next month
Finland – surveys / all participants
Lithuania – surveys started recently / thinking of using administrative data
