| description |
Training is one of the main ways that
the Nepal government intervenes in the labor market. This
descriptive study documents patterns, trends, correlates,
and the labor market effects of formal off-the-job training
of youth, based on national household survey data. Training
rates in Nepal tend to be higher than in other South Asian
countries. Within the country, rates are higher for
traditionally advantaged groups. While both short- and
long-term training programs are available, most programs are
short-term. Training is associated with a higher likelihood
of employment, wagework, and nonfarm work for women but not
for men. Training does not appear to be associated with wage
earnings for either gender. Interest in training runs high,
especially among traditionally disadvantaged groups, and
among those who are currently employed or have previously
obtained training. Little rigorous evidence is available for
Nepal to inform the extent and nature of public intervention
in the training market. The study concludes by offering
suggestions for future, policy relevant research. |
