    Functional Literacy, Heterogeneity and the Returns to Schooling : Multi-Country Evidence (2013)

    Parallel Title: Fasih, Tazeen Functional Literacy, Heterogeneity and the Returns to Schooling
    Abstract: Little is known about which of the skills that make up workers' human capital contribute to higher earnings. Past empirical evidence suggest that most of the return to schooling is generated by effects or correlates unrelated to the skills measured by the available tests. This paper uses the International Adult Literacy and the Adult Literacy and Life Skills surveys to obtain multi-country estimates of the components of the return to schooling. The results reveal considerable heterogeneity and a dichotomy between two groups of countries. For a subgroup of educationally advanced countries, nearly half of the return to schooling can be attributed to labor marker-relevant functional literacy skills associated with schooling, while for a subgroup of less educationally advanced countries, such skills account for just over 20 percent of the return to schooling, while the return to schooling mostly reflects the signaling value of schooling

    Heterogeneous Returns to Education in the Labor Market (2012)

    Abstract: Since the development of human capital theory, countless estimates of the economic benefits of investing in education for the individual have been published. While it is a universal fact that in all countries of the world the more education one has the higher his or her earnings, it is nevertheless important to know the empirical returns to schooling. However, simply knowing average returns is not useful in a world of heterogeneity. This paper finds increasing returns going from the lower to the higher end of the earnings distribution, but with some important differences across regions. The returns increase by quantile for Latin America. The returns decrease by quantile for most East Asian countries, producing an overall equalizing effect. India and Pakistan demonstrate opposite results. In Ghana, the returns across the distribution are flat, while for Kenya and Tanzania education is dis-equalizing

    Abstract: This paper exploits a natural experiment approach to identify the impact of legislation (Employment of Children Act 1991) in Pakistan on participation of children in the labor markets. The law prohibits employment of children less than 14 years of age in sectors other than agriculture or household enterprises. With micro-data, making use of regression discontinuity data design, the study finds some evidence that the Employment of Children Act 1991 helped in reducing the employment of children immediately after its implementation

    Abstract: En este libro se revisa el conocimiento basico existente sobre la administracion escolar descentralizada alrededor del mundo y se demuestra la importancia de una evaluacion rigurosa del impacto para formular propuestas de politicas. Varios paises en desarrollo estan introduciendo reformas de administracion escolar dirigidas a empoderar a los directores y maestros de las escuelas. Muchas de estas reformas refuerzan tambien la participacion de los padres. La administracion escolar descentralizada tiene el potencial para convertirse en un medio de muy bajo costo, para que el gasto publico en educacion sea mas eficiente, aumentando la responsabilidad en cada institucion. En esta publicacion se desarrolla un marco teorico de administracion escolar descentralizada y se revisa la experiencia de mas de 20 paises. Los autores ofrecen una breve descripcion de algunas reformas de ese tipo, junto con evidencia sobre su impacto en varios indicadores. En general, encuentran que la administracion escolar descentralizada tiene un efecto positivo sobre algunas variables "reduce las tasas de repeticion y de fracaso y mejora la asistencia", pero resultados mixtos en otras

    Keywords: Graue Literatur
    Abstract: This paper documents stylized facts on rates of returns to education during economic crises. It shows from three middle-income countries - Indonesia, Pakistan, and South Africa - that the rate of return to university education (versus secondary education) has increased during economic crises. Based on this stylized fact, the paper projects that the returns for university graduates may increase by at least one-quarter to one-third during the COVID-19 pandemic
