Does the Wage and Professional Valorization of the Training in Company Differ According to the Sex? The Canadian Example (La Valorisation Salariale Et Professionnelle De La Formation En Entreprise DiffèRe-T-Elle Selon Le Sexe ?: L'Exemple Canadien)

Abstract

The paper focuses on the effects of formal and informal on-the-job training on wages and promotions for men and women. For that purpose, we use the 1999-2000 Canadian Workplace and Employee Survey (WES). Using a simulated maximum likelihood, we estimate a recursive trivariate probit that simultaneously models the both decisions to follow formal and infomal on-the-job training and their impact on promotion process. We evaluate the returns of promotions and of the two kinds of on-the-job training through a Mincer wage equation using instruments for these variables.
