The Effects of Job Turnover on the Training of Men and Women
利用青年纵向调查数据,研究预测的工作流动概率如何影响培训机会,发现控制流动后男女培训差距缩小,且教育对培训的正效应源于流动差异而非互补性。
Human capital theory predicts that workers will be more likely to undergo job training the longer they expect to remain working. The author tests that prediction using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Her approach, not taken in other studies of the same phenomenon, is to examine the effect of the predicted probability of job turnover on the probability of receiving training. She finds that controlling for predicted job turnover decreases the advantage in training opportunities for men relative to women that has been found in previous work. Another finding is that the positive effect of education on training that has been reported previously is due to differences in turnover by education level rather than a pure complementarity between education and training.
