Educational Reform and Labor Market Outcomes: the Case of Argentina’s Ley Federal de Educación

In the 1990s, Argentina implemented a large-scale education reform (Ley Federal de Educación – LFE) that extended compulsory education for two additional years. The timing of implementation substantially varied across provinces, wich provided a source of identification for unraveling causal effects of the reform. The estimations derived from difference-in-difference models suggest that the LFE had an overall positive but mild impact on education and labor outcomes. The impact on income-deprived youths was small for education outcomes and null for labor outcomes.
