5/ We believe that the characteristics of the Uruguayan program - it offers well-paid jobs in clerical occupations and is complementary to schooling - are key ingredients of its success.
Does working while in school smooth students' transition into the labor market? To find some answers, read our paper forthcoming in the AEJ applied economics:
Forthcoming in AEJ: Applied Economics: "The Effects of Working while in School: Evidence from Employment Lotteries" by Thomas Le Barbanchon, Diego Ubfal, and Federico Araya. https://t.co/goER08nPLC
4/ Over the two years following the program, the enrollment rate of treated youth is 4 percentage points higher than in the control group. Working while in school does not crowd out future school investment, but we find some evidence for crowding in instead.
