“…Kim and Chatterji (2020) examined the effects of job-required credentials for workers without a college degree, a population relevant to this study, and reported that credentials are associated with about a 4.8% increase in weekly earnings for women with high school education and a 7.1% increase for women with some college education but without a degree. One exception was the findings of Albert (2017), who reported that credential-related earnings premiums for young workers are as high as 18%.…”

Occupational training and credentialing requirements for direct care workers were in place for consumers’ health and safety, but their effects on job qualities and labor shortages in the direct care industry have been controversial. Using a nationally representative sample of psychiatric, nursing, and home health aides, a series of Average Treatment Effect models were analyzed to examine the effects of occupational credentials on various measures of job qualities. The findings revealed that credential-holding was related to higher annual earnings and increased probability of working full-time, year-round, and having access to employer-provided health insurance and retirement savings plans. The positive effects, however, were modest in size and suggested that, given the current wage and benefit levels for direct care workers, training and credential requirements cannot be the key to resolving job quality and labor shortage issues in the direct care industry. Implications of these findings and alternative ways to address the issues were discussed.

“…[Thus,] occupational licenses affect wages by restricting opportunities to apply skills." The interpretation of the licensing wage premium as a consequence of (intentional) supply manipulation by collective actors is the common view in empirical studies of occupational licensing in particular and social closure in general (Bol and Drange 2017;Weeden 2002;Albert 2016;Gittleman and Kleiner 2016;Kleiner and Krueger 2013;Bol 2014;Redbird 2017;Blair and Chung 2017;Zhang 2018b).…”

Licensing is a central institution in labor markets worldwide. Using the example of the USA and Germany, this study shows strong institutional differences between licensing systems that are of great importance for wage distribution but are not yet part of the debate about the economic consequences of licensing. The two countries differ significantly in terms of the rules of entry into occupational labor markets, the competencies of occupational boards, and the combination of licensing with price regulation. I claim that licensing systems change the bargaining power and bargaining scope for wages, which leads to different wage premiums across the distribution and different consequences for wage inequality. Using novel license data, I empirically show that licensing is associated with the largest relative wage premium for German low-wage and American middle-wage workers. In addition, the USA system leads to greater dispersion among licensed workers and to higher wage inequality overall. In contrast, the German system compresses wages for licensed workers, thereby reducing overall wage inequality.

The article is devoted to the problems of formation and functioning of the management personnel certification system. The relevance of the topic is stipulated by the fact that the present period of the economic development of Russia requires a particularly careful approach to the assessment of the quality of personnel and the ability to manage the work of personnel with maximum quality. So, organizational and methodological aspects of certification of management personnel, with the help of which it is possible to choose employees more carefully and subsequently coordinate the activities of the entire enterprise, become very important. On the basis of the analysis of modern approaches, the authors' definition of management personnel certification was proposed. The structure of the management personnel certification system was formed, which includes such elements as qualification requirements for the employee; educational programmes of professional development made in accordance with the qualification requirements; qualification assessment systems developed in accordance with the educational programme of advanced training and qualification requirements; employee qualification monitoring system and the system of assessment of the certification system.
