This study intends to analyze the employment effects of the middle and long-term training courses (over 6 months) supported by the national treasury and employment insurance funds, based on a survey data of 1,500 persons who have completed these training courses.
In this study, employment effects were measured on two dimensions. One is the simple quantitative side of employment itself, and the other is the qualitative side of employment which implies wage level, employment status, the protection by social insurances, and the relationship between the contents of the training courses and those of actual works etc..
We analyzed the employment effects of public pre-employment training and the determinants of employment quality by the trainees' individual properties such as age, gender, marriage, household responsibility and training-related variables such as the degree of training substantiality, training courses, certificates got by training, training duration, employment guidance.
