Abstract

ABSTRACT We study the relationship between adult education and training (AET) and employment in Sweden. Exploiting rich data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies, and using an inverse-probability weighted regression-adjustment estimator, we find that AET is positively related to the probability of doing paid work. This relationship is driven by non-formal, job-related AET, such as on-the-job training. We also find that the relationship – the strength of which increases with training intensity – is similar across different types of non-formal, job-related AET. The results suggest that policies stimulating relevant AET take-up have promise to secure higher employment.

终身学习和就业成果：来自瑞典的证据

我们研究了瑞典成人教育与培训(AET)与就业之间的关系。利用来自国际成人能力评估项目的丰富数据，并使用逆概率加权回归调整估计器，我们发现AET与从事有偿工作的概率呈正相关。这种关系是由非正式的、与工作相关的AET驱动的，比如在职培训。我们还发现，这种关系——其强度随着训练强度的增加而增加——在不同类型的非正式的、与工作相关的AET中是相似的。结果表明，刺激相关AET使用的政策有望确保更高的就业。
