Investing in Skill: Expected Returns to Vocational Studies.
Bennett, Robert; And Others
Education Economics, v3 n2 p99-117 Aug 1995
Develops a human-capital model to illustrate earnings forecasts of British 16- to 19-year olds following different vocational qualifications. Uses General Household Survey data to explore expected lifetime earning and compares these with competing academic and labor-market options. Inadequate returns to low-level vocational qualifications may discourage pursuit of further vocational training. (43 references) (MLH)
