Labour & employmentDisplacement-Free Social Network Spillover BoundariesLocal treatment saturation within 300m cluster boundaries produced zero localized job displacement; because workers commute across the integrated urban market, peer spillovers operate via social network information sharing rather than localized zero-sum job reallocation.RCTLabour & employmentDouble-Sided Randomization DesignPlacing 1.398 formal apprentices per firm displaced only 0.318 traditional apprentices, creating a net gain of 1.080 total apprentices per firm (p < 0.0001); net job creation was bounded between 74.1% and 77.3% of formal positions placed.RCTLabour & employmentLabor Substitution and Foregone EarningsIn Côte d'Ivoire, net participant earning gains accounted for only 53 percent of total public works wages due to foregone lower-paying work. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, when one family member participated, other household members worked 1.5 percentage points less, contributing to a 9 percent decline in total monthly household earnings.RCT
