我们评估了哥伦比亚随机培训和就业安置计划的长期影响。在产生巨大的短期影响之后，我们现在发现该计划的影响持续存在，增加了对社会保障的正式参与和收入贡献以及在更大公司的工作。通过使用大量的行政资源，我们还能够确定该计划以相似的程度改善了男性和女性劳动力市场的结果——这一结果在较小的评估样本中并不明显。结果表明，从长远来看，可以采取一种经济高效的方法来减少非正规性并改善劳动力市场结果。
We evaluate the long-term impacts of a randomized Colombian training and job placement program. Following the large short-term effects, we now find that the program effects persist, increasing formal participation and earnings contributions to social security and working in larger firms. By using a large administrative source we are also able to establish that the program improved both male and female labor market outcomes by a similar amount-a result that was not apparent with the smaller evaluation sample. The results point to a cost- effective approach to reducing informality and improving labor market outcomes in the long run.
