Labor market effects of a dual-VET apprenticeship
Evaluating the impact of general versus vocational education on labor market outcomes in Egypt by means of a regression discontinuity design
This study contributes to the scarce literature in developing countries by causally analyzing the long-term impact of secondary general versus vocational education on labor market outcomes in Egypt. Our regression discontinuity design (RDD) exploits a cutoff in exam scores that tracks students in upper-secondary vocational or general education. Pooling data from the 2012 and 2018 Egypt Labor Market Panel Survey (ELMPS), we find that among male up…
No experience, no employment
Higher education graduates with work experience enter the labour market more smoothly. This study analyses how work experience from vocational education and training (VET) affects labour market outcomes after higher education. To account for selection into VET, we use the regional enrolment rate as an instrument for upper-secondary VET. Results suggest that work experience gained during VET leads to significantly higher wages of 7% to 19% one yea…
Meeting in the Middle
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) programs are most successful at supporting youth labor markets when they combine education and employment. Education–employment linkage theory describes this combination in terms of power-sharing between actors from the education system and their counterparts in the employment system over key processes in the curriculum value chain of curriculum design, curriculum application (program deliver…
Operationalizing institutions
Social institutions are relatively stable patterns of behaviour or joint action that help overcome fundamental problems and perform a function in society. Despite the importance of social institutions, scholars find it difficult to identify and assess their robustness empirically. Building on institutionalism theories, we develop a theoretical framework of institutional robustness, where robustness describes ideal, long-lasting, or otherwise stro…
The linkage between the education and employment systems
This article contributes to the literature by proposing a methodological approach that scholars in all research fields can use to develop high-quality explanatory typologies. We argue that every typology should be constructed using a systematic, transparent process and must have a strong theoretical foundation to validate its explanatory value. Drawing on Max Weber’s typology theory, we apply our approach to construct three ideal types of vocatio…
