青年就业的技能和流动性障碍:来自卢旺达现金基准试验的中期证据
Skills and Liquidity Barriers to Youth Employment: Medium-term Evidence from a Cash Benchmarking Experiment in Rwanda
摘要:
我们提出了一个实验的基准劳动力培训计划对现金转移在卢旺达未充分就业的年轻人的结果。3.5治疗后数年,培训计划提高了生产性时间使用和资产投资,而现金转移则推动了生产性资产、牲畜价值、储蓄和主观幸福感。这两种干预措施对创业都有强大的影响。但是,尽管劳动力、销售额和利润都在上升,这些企业的隐含工资率却很低。我们的研究结果表明,信贷是自营职业的一个主要障碍,但可能需要更深层次的改革,使创业精神提供一个摆脱贫困的变革性途径。
英文摘要:
We present results of an experiment benchmarking a workforce training program against cash transfers for underemployed young adults in Rwanda. 3.5 years after treatment, the training program enhances productive time use and asset investment, while the cash transfers drive productive assets, livestock values, savings, and subjective well-being. Both interventions have powerful effects on entrepreneurship. But while labor, sales, and profits all go up, the implied wage rate in these businesses is low. Our results suggest that credit is a major barrier to self-employment, but deeper reforms may be required to enable entrepreneurship to provide a transformative pathway out of poverty.
