Abstract

-> The “prospects of labour market integration value” (IC value) predicts jobseekers’ chances based on statistics from previous years.
-> The AMS algorithm follows the basic assumption that future events can be derived from past observations.
-> The IC value has far-reaching consequences for AMS counselling practice and for jobseekers.
-> Therefore, transparency and the right to appeal as well as public participation are needed.
