Information asymmetries and limited skills are two main factors affecting jobseekers’ chances to access quality jobs in developing countries. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a job intermediation and wage subsidy program in Bolivia, a country with one of the highest levels of informality in Latin-America.

Then, we explore the potential of the gig economy to overcome some of the barriers that hinder women's participation in the labor market.
