Long-Run Effects from Comprehensive Student Support: Evidence from Pathways to Education. NBER Working Paper No. 25630
Lavecchia, Adam M.; Oreopoulos, Philip; Brown, Robert S.
National Bureau of Economic Research
We estimate long-run impacts to the Pathways to Education program, a comprehensive set of coaching, tutoring, group activities and financial incentives offered to disadvantaged students beginning in Grade 9. High school administrative records are matched to income tax records to follow individuals up to the age of 28, even when they leave the household or province. We find significant positive effects on persistence in postsecondary education institutions, earnings and employment. Program eligibility increased adult annual earnings by 19 percent, employment by 14 percent and reduced social assistance (welfare) receipt by more than a third.
