Overall, our findings suggest that the effects of ALMPs are lasting, but at the same time greatly depend on how they fit with the resources of clients. 7/7.

However, we find no employment effects among the less resourceful recipients of social assistance. Here instead we find negative long-run effects on indicators of mental health. These are entirely driven by clients who already prior to the trial had mental health issues. 6/7.

We find that intensified treatments led to increased labor market participation among resourceful recipients of unemployment insurance benefits. Effects are surprisingly stable and substantial even 10 years after the intervention. 5/7.

In the trials, treatment groups were exposed to intensified active labor market policies in the form of more frequent compulsory meetings with case workers and/or early activation. 4/7.

How do compliance demands targeted at the unemployed such as compulsory meetings with case workers and activation influence the employment prospects and mental health of the unemployed in the long run? 1/7.

And find that our generic scale correlates highly with the tolerance for burdens in a variety of domains. Conservative beliefs are positively related to burden tolerance (though to different degrees) regardless of domain 4/4

We examine correlates of the scale: Tolerance is higher among males, young adults, less well educated, those with good health, those who trust state actors more, and ideological conservatives. 2/4
