Abstract

Using data collected through a survey among entrepreneurs and apprentices in micro and small enterprises in Accra, Ghana, analyses the financial arrangements in informal apprenticeships. Discusses the relationship between the financing of apprenticeships and the financing of enterprises in which the training takes place. Examines also the way apprentices finance apprenticeship training.
