It then argues for the effectiveness of job fairs to bridge the recruitment gap. Lack of information is as big a constraint as monetary constraints/transportation costs in job fair attendance. A travel voucher treatment was cross-randomized with information supply and shows that people who received both the information and the voucher increased their job fair attendance by 9.8 percentage points (a 280% increase relative to control). The report also includes the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the labour market.application/pdfYOUTH EMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESLABOUR MARKETACCESS TO INFORMATIONJOB PLACEMENTTRANSPORTATION COSTSCOVID-19EGYPTNORTH OF SAHARAImproving the effectiveness of job fairs for young jobseekers in EgyptFinal Technical Report
