This paper introduces and evaluates the five employment promotion programs for single mothers enacted from 2003 in Japan. These programs are designed to grant job training to mothers (Programs 1 and 2), to help job-seekers to find a good job match more quickly (Program 3), to meet comprehensive needs (Program 4), or to motivate employers through subsidies (Program 5). Through this research, I found that Program 4 excelled in terms of the coverage rate and number of job placements. Program 1 (grants for highly-skilled job training), however, is the only program that proved to be effective in promoting secure and well-paid jobs. Despite this, the degree of awareness and the utilization rate of the programs are quite low. The estimation results show that the probability of not knowing about the programs is especially high among mothers who work part-time, the less-educated and non-working mothers. The probability of utilizing the programs is relatively low among older mothers, the less-educated, newly single mothers and those with young children.
