Notes: The table presents the selection processes at various stages of the experiment. Columns 1 through 4 indicate the likelihood of applying for a job in Bole Lemi conditional on being in the treatment group. About 63% of the treatment group individuals applied or were interviewed for job in Bole Lemi. Columns 5 through 8 report the likelihood of starting a job in one of the factories in Bole Lemi conditional on being in the treatment group and having been interviewed. About 41% of treatment group applicants who had been interviewed started job in Bole Lemi. Columns 9 through 12 indicate the likelihood of remaining in a job during the follow-up survey in one of the factories in Bole Lemi conditional on being in the treatment group, having been interviewed and starting the job. About a third of treatment group applicants who started the job were still working in the same job eight months after the baseline survey. The control variables also include a series of indicator variables for the woreda where study participants were recruited. Standard errors in parenthesis. *** denotes significance at 1%, ** at 5%, and * at 10%.
