1 ARE THERE SKILLS PAYOFFS IN LOW AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES? Namrata Tognatta SKILLS GSG SEMINARS WEEK Earnings Returns to Schooling and Skills December 7, 2015
2 Outline Motivation and Research Questions The STEP Skills Measurement program Scope Skills Measures Methodology Findings from cross-country analysis Implications
3 Motivation Schooling/Education levels key to measuring productivity and labor market success Recent evidence shows declining returns while educational attainment increases Can other dimensions of skills (namely, cognitive and noncognitive skills measures) give us additional information?
4 Research Questions 1. What are the returns to schooling in select low and middleincome countries? 2. Is there an association between cognitive skills and earnings in these countries? 3. Is there an association between noncognitive skills and earnings in these countries? 4. Are there differences by gender? Valerio, A., Sanchez Puerta, M.L., Tognatta, N. and Monroy Taborda, S. (2015). Are there skills payoffs in low and middle-income countries? Empirical evidence using STEP Skills Surveys. Working Paper. The World Bank. Washington, DC. (Forthcoming). Tognatta, N., Valerio, A. and Sanchez Puerta, M.L. (2015). What can cognitive and non-cognitive skills measures tell us about the gender wage gap in middle-income countries? The World Bank. Washington, DC. (Forthcoming).
5 Measures of Cognitive and Non-cognitive Skills Cognitive Skills Reading literacy Direct assessment of reading skills (same scale as PIAAC) Use of foundational skills (at work or in daily life) Reading Writing Numeracy Computer use at work Non-cognitive Skills Personality (Big Five) Openness Conscientiousness Extraversion Agreeableness Neuroticism Behavior Risk & time preference Grit Hostile attribution bias Decision-making Choices on hypothetical scenarios involving, risks, returns and time

Sample restrictions 25 to 64 year olds including wage workers and selfemployed workers, excluding part-time workers, employers, and unpaid workers. Top 1% earners excluded.

15 Implications and Questions for Policy Schooling or years of education continues to be the most stable predictor of earnings Is it perhaps important to consider measures of schooling quality? Significant heterogeneity in associations between skills and earnings across countries What is the role of labor market characteristics/institutional factors in explaining some of this heterogeneity? Findings on computer-related skills could be suggestive of a complementarity between education and computer use/skills Noncognitive skills findings should be considered lower-bound estimates
