“…Alternatively, a restructuring of the Job Corps design may help in spreading the positive impacts to other subgroups and the lower tail of the earnings distribution. For instance, enhancing training by targeting to improve non‐cognitive skills may help those at the bottom of the skill distribution (Eren and Ozbeklik, ; Lindqvist and Vestman, ). Moreover, our results suggest that the effectiveness of Job Corps may depend on the overall wellbeing of the economy, as previous research has shown that the success of active labor market programs may be strongly affected by the economic conditions at the time of the program and shortly after (Hotz et al ., ; Lechner and Wunsch, ).…”

Using recently developed econometric techniques to estimate quantile treatment effects (QTE) and experimental data, we examine the impact of Job Corps on earnings distribution. Our results indicate a great deal of heterogeneity in the effects of Job Corps. The QTEs show an increasing pattern along the earnings distribution, with much more pronounced differences at the upper quantiles for males, whites, and ages 20-24. Moreover, we find the QTEs to be very small at quantiles below the median for males, ages 16-17 and 18-19, and non-resident students. We propose strong economic conditions and skill hypotheses to explain the heterogeneity observed over the earnings distribution.

“…It is likely that both type of abilities affect the measured level of the other. To provide bounds on this potential bias as in Lindqvist and Vestman (), we run the probit specifications by keeping only one ability measure at a time. The estimates from this exercise are only marginally different than those presented throughout the article.…”

Using the National Educational Longitudinal Study data, we examine the role of pre-market abilities on young men's self-employment decision. Our results indicate that cognitive and non-cognitive abilities are two important, in opposing directions, predictors of self-employment. We also find that cognitive and non-cognitive abilities may differ in their malleability with the latter being more malleable during adolescence. . We thank the three anonymous referees for providing constructive comments and help in significantly improving the contents of this paper. We take full responsibility for any errors.

“…Kinerja diartikan sebagai sejauh mana seseorang dapat melaksanakan tanggung jawab dan tugas kerja yang diberikan. 12,13 Untuk itu pekerja memerlukan fungsi visiokontruksi, atensi, kalkulasi, orientasi, kemampuan berbahasa dan memori yang tergolong baik dalam fungsi kognitif pada alat ukur MoCa-Ina. 14 Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis korelasi antara tuli sensorineural akibat bising kerja dengan kemampuan kognitif.…”

Kemampuan kognitif sangat diperlukan pekerja dalam menjalankan aktivitas pekerjaannya sehingga produktifitas dapat maksimal. Perusahaan galangan kapal selalu menghasilkan bising sebagai risiko bahaya kesehatan bagi pekerjanya. Pemeriksaan audiometri tahun 2018 menemukan 81,2% dengan kelainan tuli sensorineural akibat bising pada pekerja galangan kapal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan ketulian sensorineural akibat bising dengan kemampuan kognitif (seperti fungsi visiokontruksi, penamaan, memori, atensi, berbahasa, berpikir abstrak, memori tertunda, dan orientasi). Penelitian ini adalah penelitian observasional dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Lokasi penelitian di perusahaan galangan kapal di Surabaya. Populasi adalah pekerja bagian produksi galangan kapal, sebanyak 314 orang, dan ditemukan 49 subjek sebagai sampel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Data fungsi kognitif diambil menggunakan kuesioner Moca-Ina. Hasil penelitian menunjukan 79,6% subjek mengalami gangguan fungsi kognitif, 57,1% tuli derajat ringan, 16,3% tuli derajat sedang, 2,1% tuli derajat sedang-berat, dan 2,1% tuli derajat berat. Analisis statistik non-parametrik dengan uji Spearman antara derajat ketulian dengan skor kognitif subjek penelitian menunjukan hubungan yang rendah namun bermakna (r = 0,306, p = 0,032). Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah semakin berat derajat ketulian yang diderita pekerja berhubungan dengan semakin rendahnya kemampuan kognitif mereka. Kata kunci: bising, gangguan kognitif, tuli sensorineural.
