Effectiveness of pre-employment card policy on employment transition during covid-19: evidence from Indonesian dual labor market by Beni Teguh Gunawan, El Bram Apriyanto, Hennigusnia Hennigusnia, Ivan Lilin Suryono, Ardhian Kurniawati

“…The findings reveal that the PEC policy significantly increases the likelihood of unemployed individuals securing formal sector jobs rather than informal ones, with participants who completed the initial PEC training showing a 30% higher probability of transitioning to formal employment compared to those without PEC support. Additionally, the policy supports transitions within the labor market by facilitating movement from the informal to the formal sector, with an observed 25% increase in formal employment uptake among informal workers participating in PEC. …”

$$\rho $$ ρ meson transverse momentum-dependent parton distributions by Jin-Li Zhang, Jun Wu

“…Furthermore, the x-moments of $$\rho $$ ρ meson PDFs indicate that $$\langle x\rangle _{g_L}$$ ⟨ x ⟩ g L is larger using LFWFs than with the covariant approach. Additionally, analysis of quark spin densities within the $$\rho $$ ρ meson reveals that $$\rho _{\uparrow \downarrow }\left( k_x,k_y\right) =f-g_L-\frac{1}{3}f_{LL}$$ ρ ↑ ↓ k x , k y = f - g L - 1 3 f LL yields a negative result using the covariant approach, whereas $$\rho _{\uparrow \downarrow }\left( k_x,k_y\right) $$ ρ ↑ ↓ k x , k y derived from LFWFs produces a positive outcome.…”
