Dr. Yamada, SKY project leader and Dr. Otchia, SKY project member, published new paper “Differential effects of schooling and cognitive and non-cognitive skills on labour market outcomes: The case of the garment industry in Ethiopia” in International Journal of Training and Development.

This paper contributes to the discussion on the effects of schooling and skills on labor market outcomes in developing countries with growing economies. The data are from workers in foreign-invested garment companies in Ethiopia, and the effects of cognitive, non-cognitive, and practical skills are analyzed separately from schooling years using the skills assessment module of the SKY project. The study reveals the impact of educational background and skills on the labor market, rewards of cognitive, non-cognitive and practical skills on the labor market, and the different challenges of skills assessment in developed and developing countries.

SKYプロジェクトリーダーの山田教授とSKYプロジェクトメンバーのオチア准教授の共著論文 “Differential effects of schooling and cognitive and non-cognitive skills on labour market outcomes: The case of the garment industry in Ethiopia” が、International Journal of Training and Developmentにて刊行されました。

この論文は、経済成長をする途上国において、学歴とスキルが労働市場の結果に及ぼす影響についての議論に貢献するものである。データは、エチオピアの外資系縫製企業の労働者を対象としたもので、SKYプロジェクトの技能評価モジュールを用いて、認知的スキル、非認知的スキル、実践的スキルの影響を、就学年数とは別に分析しています。本研究から、学歴と技能それぞれの労働市場への影響、認知スキル、非認知スキル、実践スキルそれぞれの労働市場への影響、先進国と途上国のスキル評価の課題の差異を明らかにしています。
