中文摘要
在校期间工作是否有助于学生顺利过渡到劳动力市场？我们利用乌拉圭一项为期一年的工读项目来回答这一问题；该项目在超过9万名学生申请者中随机分配工作机会。项目规则禁止雇主在项目结束后继续雇用参与者从事同一工作，而且曾再次在同一家企业工作的参与者不足5%。项目结束两年后，参与者的收入高出8%。我们的结果表明，该项目对与工作相关的技能的重视，是其影响收入的一个关键机制。（JEL I21, I26, J13, J24, J31, O15）
Abstract
Does working while in school smooth students’ transition into the labor market? We provide evidence on this question by leveraging a one-year work-study program that randomized job offers among over 90,000 student applicants in Uruguay. Program rules forbade employers from employing participants in the same job after program completion, and less than 5 percent of participants ever worked in the same firm again. Two years after the program, participants had 8 percent higher earnings. Our results suggest that the program’s focus on work-related skills was a key mechanism for earnings impacts.
