摘要: Lifelong learning becomes increasingly important in times of population ageing, but little is known about the returns to adult education or effectiveness government attempts promote learning. This paper evaluates effects a large-scale randomized field experiment with vouchers for education. We find no significant average labor market voucher-induced self-financed compliers, also evidence substantial effect heterogeneity. Overall, these findings cast doubts on existing, unrestricted voucher programs
