Contexto
What changed: Low-educated or illiterate youth aged 18-35 received a one-time USD 500 (approx. AFN 33,500) unconditional grant for microenterprise development. Comparison: Eligible applicants randomized to the control group receiving no grant. Limits: Substantial survey attrition (38%) due to administrative matching errors between survey rounds, although IPW and bounding analyses indicate persistent gains; context of fragile conflict.
