Description
Summary:In order to assess the effect of vocational training, the author explores the findings of People's Security Surveys conducted in Argentina, Brazil and Chile; she uses conditional multiple correspondence analysis (a descriptive statistical method). She observes that training tends to be a consequence, rather than a cause of promotion. Though for the worker, training does result in increased work outcomes or advantages (earnings levels, work-related benefits), it also results in greater work costs or inputs (in terms of variable income, hours of work and work-related insecurity).
