Enhancing employability through training programmes in Chile: A qualitative study of the challenges identified by local actors involved in a subnational experience

“…The training and employment system in Chile SENCE in Chile has played a pivotal role in the implementation of training programmes in Latin America (Doerr & Novella, 2020). SENCE was established in 1976 through Decree-Law 1.446 and operates under the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare.…”

The Influence of Youth Economic Empowerment Project on Employability of Youth in Tanzania: A Case of Ilala Municipality

“…Batchuluun et al (2017) reported that the youth training programs in Mongolia positively promoted the increase of earning and employment in short and medium terms. Doerr and Rafael (2020) revealed that the beneficiaries of the Formacion para el Trabajo (FOTRAB) programme in Chile improved their income in the short term.

Unemployment Benefits, Active Labor Market Policies, and Labor Market Outcomes: Evidence from New Global Data

“…Specifically, the self-employment rate is negatively associated with training incentives in LLMIC and UMIC, though it is only marginally significant in the former, and with internship/apprenticeship programs in UMIC and HIC. The relationship between the self-employment rate and vocational training has been investigated extensively in the literature, which shows either a modest or no significant relationship between them (Grierson 1997;Premand et al 2012;Doerr and Novella 2020). Some of the explanations provided in these studies include the low quality of vocational programs, which do not account for the wide range of complexities related to self-employment; decreasing returns to extensive training programs, as their distortionary effects increase with their size; their suitability only for the short-term unemployed; their high deadweight losses; and the reduced survival of microenterprises in periods of high unemployment.…”
