After finishing compulsory education, what path do I choose: academic-related or vocational training-related studies?

ABSTRACT

The professional trajectory of population with vocational education and training (VET) continues to be a central issue. Despite the fact that firms more and more demand workers with medium qualification, a low share of population follows this educational path. This paper shows evidence of possible reasons by analysing the differences in terms of earnings that distinguish these individuals from others with different education within the labour market.
