The Direct and Indirect Long-Term Impacts of PATH in Jamaica

This TC seeks to gather robust evidence on the long-term effectiveness of the PATH program by two primary questions: (1) What are the long-term direct impacts of PATH on academic achievement, fertility rates, criminal behavior, and labor market outcomes?; and (2) What underlying mechanisms might account for the reduced effectiveness of the education system among PATH beneficiaries compared to similar non-beneficiaries?
