This registration phase, open for two to three weeks per locality, created an applicant pool. For the second program wave, 10,966 youth were eligible and enrolled. \n\nApplicants exceeded the 3,125 available program slots. A public lottery system was implemented in each locality. Beneficiaries were randomly selected from registered applicants present at the lottery. This randomization was conducted separately for male and female applicants. This ensured equitable access and alignment with an established gender participation quota. Lotteries occurred between late June and early July 2013. Selected individuals were assigned to work teams, called \"brigades,\" each with 25 individuals. A waiting list was compiled from non-selected applicants to manage drop-outs and safeguard the control group. \n\nThe baseline survey sample was formed after the lotteries and before public works began. This sample included all 3,125 selected individuals (the treatment group). A control group of 1,035 individuals was randomly drawn from applicants who participated in lotteries but were not selected and were not on the waiting list.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The data collected at baseline included information about socio-economic background, employment and earnings.
