“…In absolute terms, returns to skills in Sweden have been shown to be the lowest among a sample of 22 industrialized countries (28). : Linear probability models of workers' switching establishments in a given year (column 1) or remaining for at least 2, 3, or 4 years with the same establishment (columns 2 to 4).…”

“…Clearly, whether this dividend will materialize depends on a large variety of factors, such as improvements in gender equality when it comes to secondary and tertiary enrollment (Klasen 2020), social norms hindering women from finding employment that would match their human capital (Jayachandran 2021), other potential “deep determinants” of female labor supply, the extent to which the higher educational attainment translates into relevant labor market skills (Hanushek et al. 2015; Backhaus 2020), and whether in particular the nonprimary sector will expand to provide sufficient and skilled employment opportunities (Rodrik 2016; Kruse et al. 2021).…”

Female labor force participation rates have been stagnating despite rising female education in sub‐Saharan Africa since the turn of the millennium. Using representative and repeated census data from a heterogeneous sample of 13 sub‐Saharan African countries, this paper analyzes female labor force participation from a demographic perspective. We show that enrollment in education is substantially higher among the most recent female cohorts than among the earlier‐born ones. The higher enrollment mechanically depresses female labor force participation, weakening the relationship between female labor force participation and education. After taking this cohort trend into account, we find a strong and positive association between female labor force participation and female education. We further find a cohort trend toward higher female employment in the nonprimary sector and a positive association between female employment in the nonprimary sector and female education. The higher investments in education by younger female cohorts, together with the demographics of sub‐Saharan African countries, have implications for a potentially arising “demographic dividend”.

“…Nos centramos en la comprensión lectora por considerarla una competencia cognitiva fundamental que también se requiere para las pruebas sobre capacidad de cálculo. En investigaciones anteriores se ha comprobado que las aptitudes para el cálculo numérico suelen estar asociadas a una prima salarial más elevada, pero los resultados cualitativos relativos a la importancia de las competencias cognitivas para la situación laboral no suelen cambiar significativamente en función de la competencia cognitiva elegida como indicador (Hanushek et al 2015). De hecho, también hemos realizado análisis utilizando resultados en pruebas de aritmética en lugar de comprensión lectora con resultados casi idénticos (no se consignan aquí por razones de espacio).…”

Resumen En este artículo se investigan los vínculos entre ingresos, capital humano y tareas laborales, utilizando información internacionalmente comparable del PIAAC (OCDE) sobre competencias de adultos. Tomando el marco teórico de Autor y Handel (2013), se amplía el análisis empírico a 21 países de la OCDE. Los datos permiten tener en cuenta tanto el nivel de instrucción como una medida de las competencias cognitivas. Los resultados confirman que las tareas que implica cada ocupación tienen influencia en las diferencias salariales tanto entre ocupaciones como dentro de cada una y proporcionan pruebas empíricas del poder de predicción del modelo para un gran número de países.
