| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project investigates employment of young people who graduated vocational education in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia through three rounds of tracer surveys covering 1033 samples. The surveys reveal that graduates who passed the skill assessment and those who use skills that they learned in a school at their workplaces earn higher wages on average. Also, those who passed the assessment get higher wages even when they do not use learned skills at their workplaces. The last finding may be interpreted that vocational training provides general skills applicable to various tasks as well as specific skills that is productive in targeted tasks.
This contributes to the literature by clearly showing training effects when learned skills and tasks at a workplace are not matched.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
職業訓練は若年層の失業問題を解決する政策として開発途上国で拡充されているが、サブサハラ・アフリカ諸国において、職業訓練校の卒業生を長期にわたって調査した例は管見の限りでは他にみられない。職業訓練での学習が高い賃金に結び付いていることが確認されたが、学んだスキルと業務の一致が賃金に影響すること、しかし、一致しない場合でもスキルテストの合格が賃金を上昇させるなどの詳細が明らかになった。特に、最後の点は、職業訓練が特定の職種にのみ有効な固有スキルだけでなく、多様な職種で有効な一般スキルの形成に有効であることを示す新しい知見である。スキルと業務のミスマッチの問題を緩和する取り組みの可能性を示している。
