abstract: 'Job Corps is the United State''s largest and most comprehensive training
program for disadvantaged youth aged 16-24 years old. A randomized
social experiment concluded that, on average, individuals benefited from
the program in the form of higher weekly earnings and employment
prospects. At the same time, ``young adults{''''} (ages 20-24) realized
much higher impacts relative to ``adolescents{''''} (ages 16-19).
Employing recent nonparametric bounds for causal mediation, we
investigate whether these two groups'' disparate effects correspond to
them benefiting differentially from distinct aspects of Job Corps, with
a particular focus on the attainment of a degree (GED, high school, or
vocational). We find that, for young adults, the part of the total
effect of Job Corps on earnings (employment) that is due to attaining a
degree within the program is at most 41\% (32\%) of the total effect,
whereas for adolescents that part can account for up to 87\% (100\%) of
the total effect. We also find evidence that the magnitude of the part
of the effect of Job Corps on the outcomes that works through components
of Job Corps other than degree attainment (e.g., social skills, job
placement, residential services) is likely higher for young adults than
for adolescents. That those other components likely play a more
important role for young adults has policy implications for more
effectively servicing participants. More generally, our results
illustrate how researchers can learn about particular mechanisms of an
intervention.'
