摘要

我们通过随机实验来评估为职业培训学员提供更丰富的未来工作信息对其就业结果的影响。研究的背景是印度的 DDU-GKY 职业培训项目。我们发现，在培训中加入两节有关工作机会的信息课，可使受训者留在所安排工作岗位的可能性提高 18%。我们提供的提示性证据表明，这种效果是由改进培训选择所驱动的：由于干预措施，对安置工作过于乐观的受训人员更有可能在安置前辍学。

Can information about jobs improve the effectiveness of vocational training? Experimental evidence from India

We use a randomized experiment to evaluate the impact of providing richer information about prospective jobs to vocational trainees on their employment outcomes. The setting of the study is the vocational training program DDU-GKY in India. We find that including in the training two information sessions about placement opportunities make trainees 18% more likely to stay in the jobs in which they are placed. We provide suggestive evidence that the effect is driven by improved selection into training: as a result of the intervention, trainees that are over-optimistic about placement jobs are more likely to drop out before placement.
