Inducing a positive labour demand shock: Evidence from an online global marketplace
Project Active from to Sustainable Growth, Firms and Trade
This project takes a demand-side approach to creating job opportunities, using a randomised controlled trial to test the effects of connecting Jordanian job seekers to a global platform where workers compete for temporary contracts. Participants receive platform access, with some also receiving Plus or Professional memberships for more bidding opportunities. The study assesses changes in employment status and platform engagement, focusing on young job seekers.
