Apprenticeship as a stepping stone to better jobs: Evidence from Brazilian matched employer-employee data

Vocational Training and Labor Market Outcomes: Evidence From a Randomized Program in Brazil

“…5 These measures are based on the one used by Corseuil et al (2019) and Menezes-Filho et al (2008) that maps the Brazilian Occupation Code (CBO) into the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-88) and then separates it into high and low skill groups as well as white and blue collar ones using Abowd et al (2001)'s classification.…”

“…-High-skill job: A dummy variable that indicates if the individual's primary contract is in a high-skill position. For this, we use the same procedure utilized by Corseuil et al (2019) that uses a mapping of CBO to ISCO-88 codes 10 and separates the occupations in high and low skilled groups using Abowd et al (2001)'s classification. From ISCO-88 codes, high skilled occupations are the ones with codes starting with 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 or 8.…”

“…-White-collar job: An indicator variable for if the person is employed in a white-collar job. Just as for high skill occupations, we define white-collar jobs following the classification of Abowd et al (2001) used in Menezes- Filho et al (2008) and Corseuil et al (2019), using a mapping from the CBO codes in RAIS to ISCO-88 codes. An occupation is considered a white-collar one if its ISCO-88 code starts with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.…”

“…They find effects over any type of employment only in the medium-run and none over formal employment. Corseuil et al (2019) studies the Brazilian apprenticeship programs. They are firm led programs that combine theoretical training in a classroom and hands-on experience in the firm for those younger than 18.…”

“…For the classification of occupations in white-collar and high skill, we use the same procedure asCorseuil et al (2019) andMenezes-Filho et al (2008) that traces the Brazilian Occupation Code to ISCO-88 and then usesAbowd et al (2001)'s classification.PUC-Rio -Certificação Digital Nº 1811832/CA…”
