跨越距离：尼泊尔女性混合式职业培训

We test whether access to a hybrid distance learning program can expand professional training opportunities where women’s labor force participation is low. Qualified women were randomly selected to train as community animal health workers through either a traditional training course requiring 35 consecutive days away from home or a distance learning course requiring two shorter stays plus a tablet-based home curriculum. Distance learning increases training completion rates from 30% to 51%. Distance learning trainees are at least as knowledgeable and skilled as their traditionally trained counterparts, with similar labor force participation and long-run job performance.
