Meet Your Future Job Search Effort and Aspirations of Young Jobseekers
REFNo: SS338ES

Jobseekers in developing contexts face a number of search barriers to quality employment. The most recurring ones in the literature range from liquidity constraints for travel costs (Abebe et al. 2017a) to high opportunity cost of search-time due to job availability in the informal sector (Franklin, 2017). In addition to these, young jobseekers often do not know how or where to search for jobs, might not understand their skills in relation to what employers want and are likely to have distorted expectations of wage levels and working conditions (Babcock et al. 2012). Importantly, these barriers are magnified right in the most vulnerable phase of a career: the transition into the labor market (Becker 1994, Pissarides 1994). This study seeks to investigate (i) how barriers in access to information affect search efforts, labor outcomes and aspirations of young jobseekers taking their first step in the job market, (ii) how can career-coaching and job search assistance from “the future you” help influencing their expectations and labor market trajectories and (iii) how does the trainees’ degree of identification with “the future you” affect the way in which they interpret somebody else’s experience with respect to their own future. The experimental setting is that of Vocational Training Institutes (VTIs) in Uganda and “the future you” is an alumnus of the VTI, who successfully entered the labor market after receiving the training.
