Creating jobs and increasing productivity are at the top of agenda
for policymakers across the world. This report brings new ideas on how
to build and upgrade job relevant skills, focusing on three types of
training programs relevant for individuals who are leaving the formal
general schooling system or are already in the labor market:
- pre-employment technical and vocational education and training
(TVET)
- on-the-job training (OJT)
- training-related active labor market programs (ALMPs)
Several previous studies have discussed some of the flaws in current
systems and outlined options for reform. But, overall policies at these
three levels of the training systems remain disconnected and there has
not been an integrated framework linking them to the market and
government failures that need to be addressed.
This book makes two important contributions. First, it takes an
in-depth look at the types of market and government failures that can
result in underinvestment in training or the supply of skills that are
not immediately relevant to the labor market. Second, building on the
analysis of the limitations of both markets and governments and the
results of case studies and recent impact evaluations, the report
develops new ideas to improve the design and performance of current
training programs, which often involve interventions outside the
education and training systems.
