From 1996 to 2007, less than
60% of the participants of
the youth job-training
programme Projoven-Peru have
completed the training.
Uncertainty still remaines
regarding whether it is
worthwhile for the trainees
to complete Projoven. This
thesis objective is
threefold. First, it
evaluates the impact of
Provojen training
conditioned on completing
the programme and correcting
for selection into the
training and selection into
work. Second, it aims to
find out the reason why the
trainees drop out by
exploring the content
training and socioeconomic
environment. Third, it aims
to asses until which extent
the institutional
arrangement within Provojen
influences dropout decisions,
the programme returns and
performance.
