| Summary: | This dataset contains baseline survey data from 2,141 youth and their households collected as part of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) titled The Effects of a Secondary School Scholarship on School Progression and Youth Outcomes in rural Ethiopia. The study evaluates whether providing secondary school scholarships to youth from extremely poor households in remote, food-insecure kebeles improves school enrollment and progression and affects a range of non-academic outcomes.
The baseline survey captures pre-intervention information on household demographics, education and schooling status, work and time use, socioeconomic conditions, food security, life skills, future expectations, mental health and psychosocial well-being, and COVID-19-related experiences. These data provide a comprehensive profile of youth and household conditions prior to program implementation and serve as the foundation for subsequent impact evaluation analyses. The dataset is intended to support research on education, youth development, poverty, and social protection and can be used for replication, secondary analysis, and policy-oriented research.
