New Evidence on the Determinants of Training in Canadian Business Locations
註釋The purpose of this paper is to study the determinants of worker and workplace participation in training, using data from the 1999 Workplace and Employee Survey (WES). To evaluate the level of commitment of the employer to training, the authors also present an analysis of the proportion of employees trained. In Canada, a number of studies have examined the factors which determine participation in training. However, until recently, no Canadian survey made it possible to simultaneously use a large number of both employee and employer characteristics. The WES is unique in that it gathers detailed and linked data on business locations and their workers for the whole, private non-agricultural sector of the economy, thereby facilitating a more complete analysis than was previously possible. Furthermore, the WES enables the joint analysis of the determinants of both classroom and on the job training and an exploration of the differences and the links between these two types of training.
