摘要：We evaluate the labour market outcomes of a French training programme for youth, using a non-
experimental sample of individuals who completed their studies (or dropped out) in 1998 and were
observed until 2003. We use propensity score matching to estimate the impact of participation on
three outcome variables: the net monthly wage, the monthly income and the probability of employment.
We nd a positive impact of participation on all three outcome variables. Non parametric robustness
checks con rmed our results. We explain these results, which contrast with those of previous French
studies, by the very strong training content of the programme.
