Matching the Demand for and Supply of Training in the School‐to‐Work Transition
利用英国兰开夏郡职业服务的行政数据，研究青年在从学校到工作过渡中的培训偏好与培训去向，发现性别导致的职业隔离和通用培训的过度需求，结果主要由考试成绩、族裔和是否处于弱势决定。
This empirical paper investigates skill formation in the youth labour market. Using event-history data collected from the administrative records of Lancashire Careers Service, we model 'training preferences' formed at school by young people and 'training destinations', ie the occupation of the first job/training scheme. We also model the duration of the individual's first unemployment spell. Competing risks models with flexible piece-wise linear baseline hazards and unobserved heterogeneity are estimated. There is evidence of occupational segregation by gender and an excess demand for general training. Outcomes are mainly determined by examination performance, ethnicity and whether disadvantaged.
