  abstract = {Having in mind the importance of effective Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) to boost employment, this paper aims to provide an impact study on employment for three types of active labour market measures implemented in Romania. These measures address companies who employ graduates of education institutions or unemployed persons over 45 years old or with only 3 years left before retirement. The impact of these measures was quantified one year and a half after the measures’ conditionality ended, using survey data, counterfactual scenario and matching techniques. The findings of this study underline the utility of the active labour market measures regarding subsidies given to employers who employ graduates or unemployed persons over 45 years old and confirm the fact that this kind of programs have a positive effect on the short-run in encouraging employers to hire more graduates and persons over 45 years old.},
