- W3193525007 abstract "Women in developing countries are disempowered: high youth unemployment, early marriageand childbearing interact to limit their investments into human capital and enforcedependence on men. We evaluate a multi-faceted policy intervention attempting to jumpstartadolescent women’s empowerment in Uganda, a context in which 60% of the populationare aged below twenty. The intervention aims to relax human capital constraints that adolescentgirls face by simultaneously providing them vocational training and information onsex, reproduction and marriage. We …nd that four years post-intervention, adolescent girlsin treated communities are 48% more likely to engage in income generating activities, animpact almost entirely driven by their greater engagement in self-employment. Teen pregnancyfalls by 34%, and early entry into marriage/cohabitation falls by 62%. Strikingly, theshare of girls reporting sex against their will drops by close to a third and aspired ages atwhich to marry and start childbearing move forward. The results highlight the potential ofa multi-faceted program that provides skills transfers as a viable and cost-e¤ective policyintervention to improve the economic and social empowerment of adolescent girls over a four year horizon." @default.
