“…In the Chilean training system—compared with other training regimes in the region—, employers (and their supply selection) coordinate and implement most of the training activities, above the average in Latin America (57.5% vs. 51.1%). These figures are consistent with the different depictions of training systems across Latin America, which focus the supply and decision making on employers rather than on public–private coordination, as in the case of Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Mexico (Chiaramonte‐Cipolla et al, 2015; Didier & Perez, 2012; Ramirez‐Anormaliza et al, 2017; Talleri et al, 2013; Villar et al, 2013). Still, the rates of informal economy and employment are higher in the region than in Chile (Elgin et al, 2021; International Labor Organization, 2021), which allows for representation by institutional means, or more accurately, the operation of an employer‐led training system.…”

The process of technological change brings significant challenges to societies. While private sector organizations seek to include new technologies in their production processes, individuals and government agencies look for possibilities for adaptation. In the context of highly unequal countries such as those in Latin America, the way the adaptation occurs can play a significant role in social mobility and family wealth creation. As the literature suggests, one of the essential policy tools to cope with changes in the labor market lies in job training policies. In this article, I assess the effectiveness of the Chilean training system, focusing on how training affects wages. Using the Casen household survey and the Social Protection Survey longitudinal versions, I estimate a training skill premium near 11%. While the different data sources show that job training has an effect, differentiation of this effect lies with the decision maker in the training process.

The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 promised Kenyans a devolved system of county governments that would bring services closer to people and allow local people and communities to make decisions and manage their affairs through their elected leaders and representatives. Furthermore, article 10, read together with article 232 of the constitution, promises Kenyans good governance and a public service that upholds the principles of integrity. However, the environment for the implementation of devolution has had several obstacles due to various challenges experienced over time. Since the onset of devolution, county governments in Kenya have faced serious performance challenges, some of which have been attributed to the fact that they have not been able to achieve their desired results due to poor employee performance on service delivery. This study sought to investigate the effect of training and development on employee performance in the county government of Kakamega, Kenya. The study used a descriptive research design. The target population for this study was 6,266 employees of the County Government of Kakamega. The study used a sample size population of 375 employees. The data collected for the study were presented using tables and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The validity of data instruments was ascertained by both theoretical and empirical literature, while data reliability was confirmed using Cronbach’s alpha test approach. The findings revealed that there was a statistically significant relationship between training and development and employee performance among employees of the County Government of Kakamega. The study recommended that the County Government of Kakamega should prioritize the training and development of employees by committing more budget allocation and supporting these commitments with strategic plans, clear policies, and dedicated establishments to enhance employee performance and service delivery.

Academic migrations have been a constant throughout history. Nowadays, due to the complexity of the global situation, many teachers and researchers have been expelled from their countries, being unable to develop their professional careers. On the contrary, Ecuador has attracted human capital from 2008 to 2018 through public policies aimed at changing the productive matrix and improving its academic results. With this, the hiring of teachers and researchers at a national level was constant and resulted in an exchange of knowledge. To this end, the Network of Researchers in Ecuador (@redcientificos) in the Higher Education system and its interrelationships are analyzed. To demonstrate the fullness of academic possibilities offered intrinsically in its beginnings and the inherent decrease in working conditions for its teachers and researchers since 2018. A circumstance that limits the prospects of its researchers based in Ecuador and introduces temporality and uncertainty both in its processes of academic linkage and production, as well as in its public policies.
