Labour-Market Attachment and Training Participation

Labour-Market Attachment and Training Participation Abstract This paper examines how expected attachment to the labour market and expected tenure at a specific firm affect training participation. The results, based on cross-sectional data from Japan, indicate that expected attachment to the labour market affects participation in both employer- and worker-initiated training, while expected tenure at a specific firm mainly explains participation in employer-initiated training. These two attachment indices explain more than two-thirds of the sex gap in training participation. Employers in less-competitive labour markets are more likely to offer employer-initiated training to their workers. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Japanese Economic Review Springer Journals

Abstract This paper examines how expected attachment to the labour market and expected tenure at a specific firm affect training participation. The results, based on cross-sectional data from Japan, indicate that expected attachment to the labour market affects participation in both employer- and worker-initiated training, while expected tenure at a specific firm mainly explains participation in employer-initiated training. These two attachment indices explain more than two-thirds of the sex gap in training participation. Employers in less-competitive labour markets are more likely to offer employer-initiated training to their workers.
