No Future, No Training? Explaining Cross-national Variation in the Effect of Job Tasks On Training Participation

“…Nevertheless, it is plausible that regular training participation also increases learning of skills that may become important once workers have to change into more learning-intensive jobs. In line with this, research consistently showed that training participation decreases the risk of unemployment (Dieckhoff 2007;Ebner and Ehlert 2018).…”

The effect of adult education on health-related behaviours

“…For our underlying question, however, there are limitations with respect to AET. In contrast to schooling education, the general economic effect of AET is rather ambiguous and elusive, especially for the German context (for recent studies see Ebner and Ehlert 2018;Rüber and Bol 2017;Schwerdt et al 2012). Few studies report income effects from participation in AET or CVT, and for the most part the effects are very small.…”

“…While income effects and labour market returns of AET or informal learning activities have often been studied (e.g. Büchel and Pannenberg 2004;Ebner and Ehlert 2018;Rüber and Bol 2017;Schwerdt et al 2012), research on non-monetary returns has received less attention. Regarding non-monetary returns, it is assumed that adult learning can improve one's health, wellbeing, life satisfaction, social and political participation as well as literacy and numeracy skills (Schrader et al 2020).…”

Does the provision of childcare reduce motherhood penalties in job-related training participation? Longitudinal evidence from Germany

“…Hence, also from an individual perspective, gaining new skills and knowledge is vital for maintaining a competitive edge in today's dynamic labour markets. Although the evidence for positive returns to further education is mixed, research emphasizes particularly high returns from employer-provided job-related training (Ehlert, 2017) while reducing the risk of downward mobility (Ebner and Ehlert, 2018). However, employment interruptions and care obligations may reduce mothers' firm-specific training opportunities, while employers may have less incentive to invest in training.…”
