Vocational training for female job returners - Effects on employment, earnings and job quality
利用德国行政数据,研究培训券对中断就业后重返职场的女性在就业、收入和工作质量上的效果,发现培训券显著提升就业和收入,尤其对低技能女性效果最大。
This paper studies how training vouchers increase the employment prospects of women with interrupted employment histories. Using the population of female job returners who receive a training voucher to participate in training programs and a randomly selected control group from German administrative data, I analyze the effectiveness of training on various labor market outcomes. The analysis reveals that the receipt of a training voucher translates into substantial gains in employment and earnings. It reduces the gap between pre- and post-interruption earnings by as much as 77%. Moreover, training vouchers improve job quality, and increases job stability. Low skilled women benefit most.
