经济周期与职业院校学生的从学校到工作过渡：通用技能与教育机会的作用
Business cycles and school‐to‐work transitions for vocational students: the role of general skills and educational opportunities
摘要
This paper examines whether general skills and universal access to higher education shape vocational students' school‐to‐work transitions during recessions. We study how increased unemployment affects post‐completion outcomes across institutional regimes that differ in curricular emphasis on general skills and access to higher education – allowing us to identify effects of general skills alone and combined with access to higher education. Relative to a setting with limited general skills and no universal access to higher education, combining general skills with universal access to higher education more than halves labour‐market scarring on earnings over the first six years after completion. General skills alone do not meaningfully affect labour‐market scarring.
中文摘要
本文考察通用技能与高等教育普及是否塑造经济衰退期间职业学校学生的学校到工作过渡。我们研究失业率上升如何影响不同制度体制下完成学业后的结果，这些体制在通用技能的课程侧重和高等教育入学机会上存在差异——这使我们能够识别仅通用技能的效果以及通用技能与高等教育入学机会相结合的效果。相对于通用技能有限且高等教育未普及的情境，将通用技能与高等教育普及相结合，可使完成学业后前六年收入上的劳动力市场创伤减半以上。仅通用技能对劳动力市场创伤没有实质性影响。
