Abstract
Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Interventions to Improve the Employability and Employment of Young People in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: A Systematic Review
Highlights
In the 21st century, both developed and developing nations are faced with the demands of a rapidly changing, more globally competitive world
The studies included in this systematic review represent the best empirical evidence currently available for the impact of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) on youth employment outcomes
As the review improves upon prior work by statistically synthesising TVET intervention research, its findings strengthen the evidence base on which current policies and practices can draw
Summary
In the 21st century, both developed and developing nations are faced with the demands of a rapidly changing, more globally competitive world. The synthesis examines the impact of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) delivered to young people in low- and middle-income countries. It sought to address two main review questions: 1. What are the effects of different models of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) interventions on the employment and employability outcomes of young people, aged 15-24 years, in low- and middle-income countries?. Does participation in TVET have an effect on young people’s chance of obtaining employment in the formal sector?. Does participation in TVET have an effect on young people’s chance of obtaining self-employment?. Given differences between studies in how many of the sub-groups were constructed, the small sample sizes in some of these analyses, and other sources of bias, we need to be wary of drawing strong inferences from the findings of these analyses
