Behaviour & psychologyLocus of Control Effort AllocationJobseekers with an internal locus of control demonstrated higher baseline human capital investment index scores (+5.16 vs -5.00) and lower search effort index scores (-4.35 vs +4.42) compared to those with an external locus of control. Cash transfers generated significant net income gains for external locus youth (€22.86 increase, p < 0.01), whereas internal locus youth actively adjusted income sources resulting in no significant net income change (€7.69, p > 0.10).RCTLabour & employmentReservation Wage Rigidity Post-Employment ExposureReceiving short-term work experience resulted in a $124.40 increase in monthly reservation wages that was statistically insignificant (p > 0.10), and produced no statistically significant increase in the proportion of time spent actively searching for work (coefficient = 0.089, p > 0.10).RCT
