It studied effects of bridging general information frictions (do job seekers know about the existence of jobs fairs and how to participate in them?); labor market information frictions (what types of jobs are available in job fairs and the labor market more broadly); and capital constraints (how do the monetary costs of attending a job fair impact participation?). Participants who received both the information and travel voucher increased their job fair attendance by 9.8 percentage points (a 280% increase relative to control).application/pdfenYOUTH EMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESLABOUR MARKETACCESS TO INFORMATIONJOB PLACEMENTTRANSPORTATION COSTSEGYPTNORTH OF SAHARAPolicy Brief
