Importance: Supported employment programs aim to re-integrate unemployed people with mental illness into the competitive labour market. While it is known that short-term economic developments like the 2008 recession may have negative consequences on the supported employment effectiveness rates, research into long-term secular trends has not yet been conducted. Objective: The primary objective of the regression analysis was to assess the effectiveness of supported employment programs for clients with any mental disorder over a longer time period. Further objectives were a comparison to prevocational training and the identification of moderating variables.Data sources: We retrieved publications on randomized controlled trials and on routine implementation programs that were included in four recent systematic reviews on supported employment for people with mental illness, plus very recent publications that were identified by a new search. This search was conducted in the following databases: Pubmed, PsycInfo, CINAHL (Cumulative Index on Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and Google Scholar. Study selection: We included any publication that was used in the four meta-analyses plus very recently published studies. The included studies were conducted between 1990 and 2015. Data extraction and synthesis: 80 studies with 14,437 participants were included in the analysis. Data was extracted by one author and cross-checked by the second author. We have conducted univariate and multivariate meta-regressions on the basis of a random-effects meta-analysis of proportions. The best-fitting model was computed by utilizing a statistical model selection procedure. Main Outcome and Measures: The outcome was the competitive employment rate over time. The year of study conduction (1990 to 2015) was regressed on the competitive employment rate. Regression coefficient estimates were computed and graphically displayed.

“…New jobs and new skills will be in demand. While, in the past, digitalization put medium-skilled, routine jobs at a particularly high risk of being automated (Acemoglu and Autor, 2011), future digitalization may put low-skilled jobs at significantly higher risk of unemployment (Bode et al, 2018). The digital technologies will create many new jobs, too.…”

“…New types of skills have been introduced in the digital age. These focus on general as well as specific skills and are classified into three main categories: General Skills -Specific Skills -Digital Skills (Bode et al, 2018). General Skills can be used in a broader variety of jobs and occupations and are meant to complement the new technologies rather than replace them.…”

The current study aims at analyzing the impact of technological change and innovations on the labor market in Egypt. Using the panel data of Egyptian Labor Market Panel Survey (ELMPS) 1998, 2006, and 2012 as well as the initial year of ELMPS 1988, a quadratic form of equation for employment is estimated and two approaches were applied. The first one is collaborated by applying the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) estimation method and taking the difference between the rounds of the ELMPS database; three regressions were estimated for the following, namely total labor force (males and females), a regression for male workers as well as another regression for female workers on wage and wage squared. The second approach is estimated by applying the panel model techniques using the Fixed Effects Model as well as the Random Effects Model to analyze the impact of technological change on the Egyptian labor market. Results of the study reveal that the impact of technological change on employment is evident in the years 2006 and 2012 causing job polarization in the Egyptian labor market as revealed in the first approach. Moreover, the findings show that in the second approach there exists a J-shaped relationship between employment growth and wage and wage squared as control variables. The present study provides an overview of the related literature; moreover, it addresses and analyzes the impact technological change has on the labor market. Finally, the paper provides policy recommendations for forward-looking labor market policies in Egypt.

eignete Maßnahmen zum Schutz gegen das Coronavirus zu informieren, haben sich populistische Politiker:innen durch ihre Ignoranz wissenschaftlicher Fakten und ihre Orientierung an Befi ndlichkeiten statt an Notwendigkeiten hervorgetan. Die Folge war eine geringere Akzeptanz von Infektionsschutzmaßnahmen und ein Anstieg der Infektionszahlen. Das teilweise desaströse Pandemiemanagement hat der Popularität von Populisten jedoch erstaunlich wenig Abbruch getan. Mehr als 74 Mio. Amerikaner:innen stimmten für eine zweite Amtszeit von Donald Trump. Die Zustimmung zu den Tories unter Boris Johnson scheint ungebrochen. In allen europäischen Ländern haben populistische Parteien mittlerweile Fuß gefasst (vgl. Abbildung 1) und ihr elitenfeindlicher, faktenverdrehender und an "Volkes Wille" orientierter Politikstil hält Einzug in den politischen Mainstream. Natürlich gehört es zum demokratischen Wettbewerb, dass neue Parteien auftreten, wenn hinreichend viele Wähler:innen ihre Interessen durch die etablierten Parteien nicht vertreten sehen. Tatsächlich geht der Aufstieg Die Pandemie hat die Schwächen populistischer Politik schonungslos offenbart. Statt sich am Stande der Wissenschaft zu orientieren und die Bevölkerung über ge-
