abstract: 'We study two interventions for poor and underemployed Ethiopian youth:
a
\$300 grant to spur self-employment, and a job offer to an industrial
firm. Each one is designed to help overcome two common barriers to
employment: financial market imperfections and matching frictions. We
find significant impacts on occupational choice, income, and health in
the first year. After five years, however, we see no evidence of long
run effects of either intervention. The grant led short-run increases in
self-employment, productivity and earnings, but these appear to
dissipate over time as recipients exit their businesses. Worrisomely,
offers of factory work had no effect on employment or earnings, but led
to serious adverse effects on health after one year. Evidence of these
effects is gone after five years as well, however. These results point
to convergence in most outcomes, and suggest that one-time and
one-dimensional interventions may struggle to overcome barriers to wage-
or self-employment.'
