Abstract	"In various international reports studying employment across countries and over time (see for example OECD or IMF reports), some groups are systematically highlighted as more vulnerable or less present in the labour market. This is the case of the youths, older people, women, people with a foreign origin and those with a low level of education. The aim of this thesis is to better understand the main driving forces explaining the labour market situation of those vulnerable groups, with a special attention devoted to people with a foreign origin (Chapter 2 and Chapter 3) and women (Chapter 4). Both institutional settings and personal characteristics are deeply analysed. Using data from European countries, Chapter 1 provides robust estimates on how product and labour market regulation could influence the unemployment rate. Controlling for country fixed effects, endogeneity, and a large set of covariates, results show that product market deregulation overall reduces the unemployment rate. This finding is robust across all specifications and in line with theoretical predictions. However, not all types of product market reforms have the same effect: deregulation of state controls and in particular involvement in business operations tend to push up the unemployment rate, while barriers to entrepreneurship and barriers to trade tend to reduce it. Regarding labour market deregulation, our estimations show an increase in the unemployment rate in the short run, while a positive impact (i.e. a reduction in the unemployment rate) occurs only in the long run. Analysis by sub-indicators shows that reducing protection against collective dismissals helps in reducing the unemployment rate. This Chapter also analyses how unemployment's effects of deregulations could vary depending on the type of workers. Although men and women are equally affected by product and labour market deregulations, workers distinguished by age and educational attainment are affected differently..." The study refers to the period 1998-2019. (Textauszug, IAB-Doku). .
