This book evaluates key characteristics of the reform from a microeconometric perspective. It investigates whether a centralized or decentralized organization of welfare administration is more successful to integrate welfare recipients into employment. Moreover, it analyzes the employment effects of an intensified use of benefit sanctions and evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of the most frequently assigned Active Labor Market Programs. The analyses focus on immigrants, who are highly over-represented in the German welfare system. 410 0$aZEW economic studies ;$v46.$x1615-6781. 606 $aPublic welfare$xLaw and legislation$zGermany 606 $aPublic welfare$zGermany 607 $aGermany$xEconomic policy$y21st century 615 0$aPublic welfare$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aPublic welfare 676 $a361.680943 700 $aWalter$b Thomas$f1982-$01756834 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438092603321 996 $aGermany's 2005 welfare reform$94194359 997 $aUNINA
