【摘要】This paper investigates the long-run economic consequences on individuals' education and labor market performance of a national large-scale poverty alleviation program in China. Using a regression discontinuity design, we find a strong positive causal relationship between poverty alleviation and education achievement, especially for primary education; meanwhile, there is a negative causal relationship between poverty alleviation and higher education due to increased opportunity cost. Labor market performance, in particular, labor participation, migration and occupation quality, are improved by the poverty alleviation program. Finally, we find strong heterogeneous effects across gender, and the education and labor market performance of females are reinforced to a larger extent by the poverty alleviation program.
