Summary, Etc.  

요약I study the impact of the largest national cash transfer program in Malawi targeted to ultra-poor and labor constrained households. I leverage surveys of the youth cohort administered in the original impact evaluation and eight and nine-year follow ups. The first chapter focuses on the decision to launch a new household. I disentangle patterns of gender mobility into reasons for moving out and destination choice. I illustrate the effects of income support on female marriage migration and male short-distance mobility, incorporating a household risk management perspective. The second chapter focuses on the political targeting of the national cash transfer program in Peru. I examine how the program was exploited after elections to reward supporters. I show that targeting skewed the geographic and gender distribution of beneficiaries, undermining the program objective to uplift females with young children. In my third chapter, I examine the determinants of youth reservation wages in Malawi, a key determinant of labor market outcomes, and show a persistent effect of early-life educational aspirations. Together, these chapters significantly deepen our understanding of the impacts of cash transfer programs on migration and marriage markets, early-life drivers of youth integration into the labor market, and the distributional impacts of rewarding political supporters using cash transfer programs.
