Abstract
This paper analyzes the effectiveness of a job search program using instrumental variables.
The instruments used are travel time in public transport to the place where activities are
done, and difference between enrollment and start of activities. In line with the literature, the
intervention improves labor participation.
We also see the lack of a general pattern regarding the greater or lesser immediate impacts of
SORF activities. If anything, there would seem to be a certain tendency for the effects of
participation to improve in the medium term. This finding goes against a significant part of
the existing literature that concludes that the impact of job-search and orientation
interventions tends to fade away within a few months of completing participation. In the case
of SORF, the effect of participation increases six months and nine months later.
