Lahore School 6th International Conference on Applied Development Economics - Abstracts
August 15, 2024
Session 1: Labour Markets
Do entrepreneurial skills unlock opportunities for online freelancing? Experimental evidence from El Salvador
Richard Freund (University of Cape Town)
Discussant: Lena Hassani-Nezhad (City, University of London)
This paper reports on a randomized experiment in El Salvador that aimed to improve online labor market outcomes by teaching the entrepreneurial skills required to engage with online marketplaces. Despite low completion rates, the training significantly increases the probability of having an online freelancing profile, being contacted by at least one client, and the number of proposals sent. This translates into positive effects on receiving at least one job offer, securing at least one online freelancing contract, and improved socio-emotional skills. However, no significant effects are observed on the number of online job offers, contracts, or broader labor market outcomes.

The conference started off with welcome remarks by Dr. Shahid Amjad Chaudhry (Rector, Lahore School of Economics).

He highlighted that that this international conference will shed light on the state of economic stability in developing countries especially under the circumstances of COVID, poverty, underdevelopment, and civil war which is ending in Afghanistan. He also mentioned that Pakistan’s economy is fundamentally strong due to its agricultural sector however, it still has to work hard for macroeconomic growth as for 2021 the macroeconomic growth rate was 3.8%. Currently, the EHSAS project in Pakistan provides 2000 Rs or roughly $15 monthly to about 6million families, which is around 15% of its population. The health sector in Pakistan, largely private and public sector provides its services to around 35% of the population which is going to jump to 65% in a time span of two months. These two projects will help to ease the poverty condition in Pakistan.
