ESF common indicator success rates: Breakdown by CCI, IP

The report compares immediate and longer-term direct results with outputs achieved in the ESF programmes. For example, the number of ‘participants in employment’ is divided by the number of unemployed plus the number of inactive participants. The resulting percentage tells the share of participants who obtained a particular type of result, measured by a common indicator. The types of results are • job-search (CR01,compared to the number of inactive participants), • being in education or training (CR02, compared to the total of participants), • gaining a qualification (CR03, compared to the total of participants), • in employment (CR04, compared to unemployed+inactive) and • a combination of all the above positive outcomes (CR01+CR02+CR03+CR04, compared to the total of participants), moreover, • in employment 6 months after leaving (CR06, compared to unemployed+inactive), • improved labour market situation 6 months after leaving (CR07, compared to employed) and finally • participants above 54 years of age in employment 6 months after leaving (CR08, compared to unemployed+inactive). The output, the number of participants includes persons who were still receiving support at the time of reporting and persons who dropped out of the operations before completion. If the comparison with the results was made only by taking into account the participants who complete the operation, the success rates would be higher. (The number of participants who complete the operation is not reported though.) The report provides the success rates for all ESF operational programmes (CCIs) and priority axes at the level of the investment priority, broken down by category of region. Data on ESF common result indicators are taken from Tables 2A and 2B; data on ESF common output indicators are taken from Table 4A of the annual implementation reports.
