AbstractThe process of technological change brings significant challenges to societies. While private sector organizations seek to include new technologies in their production processes, individuals and government agencies look for possibilities for adaptation. In the context of highly unequal countries such as those in Latin America, the way the adaptation occurs can play a significant role in social mobility and family wealth creation. As the literature suggests, one of the essential policy tools to cope with changes in the labor market lies in job training policies. In this article, I assess the effectiveness of the Chilean training system, focusing on how training affects wages. Using the Casen household survey and the Social Protection Survey longitudinal versions, I estimate a training skill premium near 11%. While the different data sources show that job training has an effect, differentiation of this effect lies with the decision maker in the training process.

THE JOB TRAINING PARTNERSHIP ACT OF 1982 AFFORDED THE NATION'S GOVERNORS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE SHAPING OF A FEDERALLY FUNDED EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAM. THIS STUDY EXAMINES THE DEGREE TO WHICH GOVERNORS CHOSE TO GET INVOLVED IN JTPA POLICY FORMATION AND THE FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH VARYING LEVELS OF GUBERNATORIAL INTERVENTION. IT IS BASED ON A U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR FIELD NETWORK EVALUATION OF TWENTY STATES CONDUCTED IN DECEMBER 1983 AND JANUARY 1984. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE FACTORS MOST LIKELY TO HAVE DRAWN GOVERNORS INTO THE GAME WERE THE GOVERNOR'S MARGIN OF VICTORY IN THE ELECTION PRECEEDING PASSAGE OF JTPA, FORMAL GUBERNATORIAL POWERS, AND LEVELS OF CENTRALIZATION. WHERE THE GOVERNOR'S POLITICAL AND LEGAL POWERS WERE STRONGEST AND THERE WERE HIGHER DEGREES OF GOVERNMENTAL DECENTRALIZATION, HIS OR HER INVOLVEMENT IN JPTA PROGRAM FORMATION WAS HEAVIEST.
