L'impact de la formation en emploi sur le salaire

Author

Abstract

Plusieurs sources s'entendent pour affirmer que la quantité et la qualité de la formation en emploi offerte au Canada devraient être augmentées. Or qu'en est-il de l'impact de la formation qui est déjà dispensée ici sur le salaire? Pour répondre à cette question, nous avons construit un modèle qui repose sur la théorie du capital humain et que nous avons testé avec la méthode TOBIT de type II en utilisant des micro- données recueillies dans un vaste quartier du sud-est de Montréal. Les résultats nous montrent que l'impact est très différent selon le groupe particulier et selon le type de formation qui sont considérés. On note particulièrement qu'il y a une forte disparité dans l'impact salarial de la formation en emploi selon que la personne est de sexe masculin ou de sexe féminin. On propose des hypothèses quant à l'explication de ce phénomème. Many sources agree that the quantity of job training should be increased in Canada. Is there evidence that job training has any impact on wages? To answer this question, we estimate a human capital model wage determination with a type II TOBIT approcah to selection, with data gathered from a large district of the south-eastern part of Montreal. Our results show that the impact depends on which group of people is considered and on the characteristics of the type of job training undertaken by the individual. In particular, training has a much stronger effect for men than for women. We propose explanation for this phenomena.
