“…(1) where S is years of education, E is years of experience, Z are other socio-economic variables affecting earnings, a j and b are coefficients and u is a disturbance term. The inclusion of the interaction term between years of education and years of experience provides a straightforward test of convergent experience-earnings profiles under the strong screening hypothesis (Lee, 1980). If the hypothesis holds then a 5 < 0, otherwise a 5 ≥ 0.…”

This paper undertakes an empirical examination of rates of return to human capital for men in Brazil through the period of macroeconomic stabilization and trade liberalization, using data from the PNAD household surveys. Simultaneous quintile equations are estimated to gain a picture of the impact of human capital on earnings across the hourly earnings distribution. We conclude that there is evidence for growing inequality in rates of return to education in Brazil. However we find evidence that education is no longer used as a screening device in the labor market, but rather rewarded for its innate association with higher productivity. Although increases in rates of return to education have been more pronounced at the top of the earnings distribution, this has not led to increased inequality. This is because levels of education and other labor market-rewarded endowments have increased and offset the rate of return effect.

“…Tests of this type have been conducted for many labour markets. For example, Alba-Ramirez and Segundo (1995) for Spain, Arabsheibani and Rees (1997) for the UK, Brown and Sessions (1999) for Italy, Lambropolous (1992) for Greece and Lee (1980) for Malaysia. These tests continue to be applied, and more recent applications reflect the developments in the labour economics literature throughout the 1980s and 1990s that enable more precise analysis of the outcome for treatment effects.…”

This paper presents tests of the screening hypothesis using data on adult males from the 1996 Australian Census of Population and Housing. These tests are based on comparisons of wage and salary earners and the self-employed, and public and private sector workers, as examples of screened and unscreened employments. The first test compares the mean levels of schooling, income and labour market experience in screened and unscreened sectors, while the second examines the returns to schooling and the goodness of fit of the earnings models for both wage and salary earning (separated into public and private sector employees) and self-employed groups. The results are equivocal, but suggest screening could be part of the earnings determination process in the Australian labour market.

Από τα στοιχεία του πίνακα 1.4 προκύπτει ότι, κατά την τελευταία τριετία, παρουσιάστηκε µια σταδιακή µείωση του αριθµού των αποφοίτων των δηµοσίων Ι.Ε.Κ. Η µείωση αυτή (σύµφωνα µε την απόφαση του Ο.Ε.Ε.Κ. για αναστολή λειτουργίας µέρους των δηµοσίων Ι.Ε.Κ.), είναι απόροια της µείωσης της ζήτησης για κατάρτιση στα Ι.Ε.Κ. Ωστόσο, παραµένει ανοιχτό θέµα προς διερεύνηση, οι παράγοντες που συνέβαλαν στην µείωση της ζήτησης.
