| description |
This note provides an introduction to
the impact evaluation of labor market programs, with
particular reference to developing countries. Its focus is
on the main issues that need to be considered when planning
an impact evaluation, including the importance of rigorous
design for an evaluation, and on the statistical techniques
used to estimate program impacts. To help the exposition, a
prototype of a training program is referred to
intermittently throughout the note. This hypothetical
training program, which authors call get-to-work, provides
training to the unemployed to help them find work. The note
describes some general issues that are important for any
impact evaluation of employment programs, both in the design
and analysis stages, regardless of the specific evaluation
techniques used. It then describes the main evaluation
techniques, including the data requirements and the main
assumptions invoked by each. |
