“…However, their results show that workplace training is superior to the other rehabilitation measures. In contrast to this result, based on a bivariate probit model Heshmati and Engström (2001) find that participation in VR programs in Sweden has positive effects on the health status as well as the rate of return to work. Recently, using several matching and weighting estimators, Campolieti et al (2014) find that a VR program in Canada improves the labor market outcomes of women, but not men.…”

SUMMARYIn this study the effects of various types of rehabilitation programmes on labour market outcomes are estimated. A main feature of this study is that it jointly evaluates multiple treatments by nonparametric matching estimators. The study is based on a large sample of persons in western Sweden who are longterm sick and could participate in rehabilitation programmes. Our results suggest that workplace training is superior to the other rehabilitation programmes with respect to labour market outcomes, but compared to non-participation no positive effects are found.

“…Educational measures appear to have no or even a negative effect (Heshmati and Engström, 2001;Frölich et al, 2004;Høgelund, 2003;Høgelund and Holm, 2005), whereas workplace based measures such as job training and adaptations of the working conditions are found to have positive effects (see overview articles of Krause et al, 1998;Krause and Lund, 2002).…”
