Increasing employment among youth and
increasing the earnings and job-stability of youth is
important for Pakistan. This study examines the labor market
outcomes of graduates from training institutes run by Punjab
Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority
(TEVTA), the largest technical and vocational education and
training provider in the province of Punjab, Pakistan. The
study uses an SMS-based survey of 7,840 graduates from 2010.
This is a promising and inexpensive method to assess the
impact of education and training in developing countries.
Using SMS is feasible, fast, and very low-cost, but it comes
with a set of challenges, notably a low response rate. The
author summarizes lessons for future SMS-administered
surveys. For the labor market outcomes, we find that only 39
percent of graduates are employed post training with
considerable variation in employment outcomes across trades,
districts, gender, and schools. The author conclude that
there is overall strong need for the improvement of quality
and relevance of technical education and vocational
training, and that some schools, trades, and districts are
substantially better at linking to labor market demand than others. |
