With our new figures, we get 28x cash in the base scenario. Because our students enter into Income Share Agreements (ISAs), in which successful graduates "pay it forward" to the next generation, the impact is in potentially unbounded. An optimistic scenario yields 3,732x cash.

Students were surveyed after about one year in Germany, so they are still in school. Because they have part-time jobs, their incomes have already increased by $843 relative to the comparison group. This figure is adjusted for purchasing power & doesn't include Malengo's stipends.

Subjective well-being (e.g. happiness, depression) also increases, by 0.36 standard deviations (SD). (By comparison, cash transfers give about 0.1 SD.) The parents back home are doing better too (0.25 SD), and siblings and friends are no worse off. https://t.co/6diSHzyeFW
