Occupational Training to Reduce Gender Segregation: The Impacts of Projoven
25 Pages Posted: 25 Apr 2011
Date Written: October 2007
Abstract
This paper discusses program evaluation for ProJoven, the Peruvian youth labor training program. Complementing detailed fieldwork, the econometric work implements a two-stage matching procedure on propensity scores, gender and labor income. This allows identification of differentiated program impacts on males and females and attacks the problem of Ashenfelter’s Dips.
