Active labour market policies, like training, aim to increase the employability of unemployed population subgroups. Research indicates that the most vulnerable groups—such as women of migrant origin—are less likely to participate in the most effective programmes. Prior studies have established that household composition affects the labour market outcomes of women without and with a migration background. In contrast, research has not addressed the potential relevance of household composition in relation to women’s training uptake. Using hazard models and longitudinal microdata from the employment office and social security registers, we analyse the extent to which women’s household composition such as the presence and the origin of their partner or the presence of children is associated with the uptake of occupation‐specific training in Flanders (Belgium). Our results suggest that, even when we control for previously identified determinants of training uptake such as the human capital of unemployed women, training uptake in most groups varies by household composition. More specifically, the results suggest that women with a partner of non‐migrant origin show higher cumulative uptake than women with a migrant origin partner or single women, and that the presence of children in the household reduces women’s training participation. Furthermore, household composition is found to be a stronger differentiating factor in uptake for migrant origin women than for non‐migrant origin women.

探索女性对积极劳动力市场计划的参与：家庭组成在移民来源群体中的作用

积极的劳动力市场政策，如培训，旨在提高失业人口亚群的就业能力。研究表明，最脆弱的群体——例如移民妇女——不太可能参与最有效的项目。先前的研究已经确定，家庭构成会影响没有和有移民背景的女性的劳动力市场结果。相比之下，研究并未涉及家庭构成与女性接受培训的潜在相关性。使用来自就业办公室和社会保障登记册的危害模型和纵向微观数据，我们分析了女性的家庭构成，例如她们的伴侣的存在和出身或孩子的存在与在佛兰德斯（比利时）接受职业培训的相关程度。我们的研究结果表明，即使我们控制了先前确定的培训吸收决定因素，例如失业妇女的人力资本，大多数群体的培训吸收因家庭组成而异。更具体地说，结果表明，有非移民来源伴侣的女性比有移民来源伴侣的女性或单身女性表现出更高的累积吸收率，并且家庭中儿童的存在降低了女性的培训参与度。此外，
