Labour & employmentBroad-Based Wage Distribution CDF ShiftWage gains persisted consistently across all 8 post-intervention months ($1 to $6 per day increase across individual months), displaying a rightward shift of the entire daily wage CDF rather than earnings concentration among a few top earners.RCTLabour & employmentContract Permanence vs. Daily Wage Trade-OffAcquiring short-term work experience increased average daily wages by $3.83 (an 80% wage increase) but resulted in a negative coefficient (-0.386, p > 0.10) on the pay frequency permanence index, indicating that wage gains were concentrated in less permanent, daily-paid positions.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).RCTLabour & employmentSocial Job Network ExpansionAcquiring short-term work experience increased the probability of receiving any job referral by 22.2 percentage points (p < 0.05) and increased the overall social network index by 0.306 standard deviations (p < 0.10) over the 8-month follow-up period.RCT
