The Incidence and Impact on Earnings of Formal Training Provided by Enterprises in Kenya and Tanzania.

de Beyer, Joy

Economics of Education Review, v9 n4 p321-30 1990

Analyzes 1980 enterprise-based survey data collected in Kenya and Tanzania to examine the incidence of formal training provided by employers. Estimates wage benefits by using earnings functions for subsamples of skilled manual workers. Trained workers begin at lower wages but have steeper earnings profiles that cross over those of untrained workers. (16 references) (MLH)
