Learning and earning: Do multiple training events pay? A decade of evidence from a cohort of young British men

This paper estimates the impact of work-related training on wage growth ove r the period 1981-91, using longitudinal data from the National Child Devel opment Study, a cohort of young men aged 23 in 1981. A hurdle Negbin model is used to control for training endogeneity. We find that training incidenc e has a significant positive effect on wage growth. We also find that young men with a higher level of education are not only more likely to be traine d, but are also more likely to experience substantially higher wage growth as a result.
