Abstract. Allowance for self-employment is one of the tools of the ALMM (active labor market measures) aimed at reducing the unemployment rate. The aim of the research work is to monitor the sustainability of self-employment and employment among the unemployed with work experience in the skilled construction industry, crafts, metallurgy, engineering. The research focuses on the Slovak supported unemployed in the 2012-2016. We monitor sustainability in the short and long term by socio-demographic and other factors. Through the probit model, we monitor the sustainability of the allowance and self-employment from 6 months to 4 years after the end of financial support. The results show that the allowance has a higher sustainability of employment than self-employment. The length of previous registration as unemployed (days) is an important variable in the short and long term after the end of receiving financial support. In the short term, the age of the supported unemployed plays an important role. In the long term, the sustainability of the self-employment is important for the supported, who have decided to start a business based on previous experience. The results of the work can help to effectively select applicants for support with work experience in certain qualified areas based on selected factors.
