An Impact Analysis Of Employment Programs In Hungary, Christopher J. O'Leary Feb 2015

An Impact Analysis Of Employment Programs In Hungary, Christopher J. O'Leary

Christopher J. O'Leary

This paper presents estimates of the impact of retraining and public service employment (PSE) on reemployment and earnings in the Republic of Hungary during the early phase of post-Socialist economic restructuring.

The six students divided into teams of two and taught three groups of 15 students each. The Utah Valley University students trained 45 Macedonian students about disaster response principles, search and rescue, triage, and emergency medical care. The training was followed by three simulated exercises. The American students were interviewed about their experience. They reported …
