Abstract
I study the long-term consequences of an effective free school choice program that targeted disadvantaged students in Israel two decades ago. I show that the program led to significant gains in post-secondary education through increased enrollment in academic and teachers’ colleges without any increase in enrollment in research universities. Free school choice also increased earnings at the adulthood of treated students. Male students had much larger improvements in college schooling and labour market outcomes. Female students, however, experienced higher increases in marriage and fertility rates, which most likely interfered with their schooling and labour market outcomes.
