    Youth is a critical stage in people's lives: a transition period in which transcendental decisions have to be made in many areas, especially in education and work. Knowing what lies behind the choice between studying and working, or the combination of both, allows to assist, through the formulation of public policies, those who seek to ensure a better future for the next generation of workers in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). ). This objective is a priority due to changes in the labor market, marked by the emergence of new technological advances that threaten to automate tasks and occupations.

    What’s Behind Her Smile? Health, Looks, and Self-Esteem
    (American Economic Association, 2024) Gallego Yañez, Francisco Antonio; Larroulet Philippi, Cristian; Repetto Lisboa, Andrea
    This paper examines how improving dental health affects economic, social, and psychological outcomes. In a randomized experiment, we provide a low-income group free dental care, including prostheses, and find significant and persistent impacts on men’s and women’s dental and self-perceived mental health. For women, treatment generates improvement in self-esteem, a higher likelihood of smiling when photographed, short-run improvements in employment and earnings, and improvement in partner interactions. We find no impact for men in these dimensions. Heterogeneity analyses suggest that treatment effects on labor market outcomes are larger for women with more severe visible dental issues at baseline.
