Using the raw data of the HRD-Net and Employment Insurance DB, this paper analyses the difference in labor market performance among kinds of training for the unemployed.

The results show that the training for the unemployed with job experience, and the policy priority training do not have better performances such as training completion, vocational qualification acquisition, and employment, which is different from the hypothesis. It is likely that the unobserved variables like trainees or training institutes’ training commitment, other individual characteristics etc. may affect the labor market performance. The classification by kinds of the training for the unemployed may have the effectiveness, in case that the training program and delivery system should be built focusing on the characteristics of every kind of training.
