Hinchcliffe, Keith

Using Botswana labor force census data plus surveys of qualified manual workers, this article analyzes the impact of training on earnings and calculates the rates of return to both general schooling and preemployment vocational training. Returns show a similar structure for both types of instruction. All exceed 20 percent. (10 references) (MLH)
