This paper analyses effects of subsidised, predominantly non-standard, employment within the German labour market programme ‘participation in the labour market’ for long-term welfare recipients on their health satisfaction, health-based quality of life, satisfaction with standard of living and households' actual ownership of important goods (e.g., car or new clothes) or the lack thereof due to financial reasons. We differentiated subgroups by health, age and working hours. Data for participants and non-participants (but entitled to welfare benefits) stem from the first two waves (2020/2021) of the panel survey ‘Quality of Life and Social Participation’. To identify causal effects, we employed matching methods based on administrative and survey data. Our findings show that 1 and 2 years after programme start, participation had significant positive effects on all indicators of health and standard of living. Thus, for the programme's focus group, subsidised employment, even if non-standard, can contribute to improving health and material well-being.

从福利到工作：德国长期就业补贴对健康和物质福利的影响

本文分析了德国劳动力市场计划“参与劳动力市场”中长期福利接受者的补贴就业（主要是非标准就业）对他们的健康满意度、基于健康的生活质量、生活水平满意度和健康满意度的影响。家庭对重要物品（例如汽车或新衣服）的实际拥有权或由于经济原因而缺乏。我们根据健康状况、年龄和工作时间区分不同的亚组。参与者和非参与者（但有权享受福利）的数据来自“生活质量和社会参与”小组调查的前两波（2020/2021）。为了确定因果效应，我们采用了基于行政和调查数据的匹配方法。我们的研究结果表明，项目开始后 1 年和 2 年，参与对所有健康指标和生活水平都有显着的积极影响。因此，对于该计划的焦点小组来说，补贴就业，即使是非标准的，也可以有助于改善健康和物质福祉。
