The multinomial logit model results for employment mobility show that TVET significantly improves males’ as well females’ chances entering into formal employment, while reducing their probability working...

The percentage of non-Hispanic Whites without health insurance has fallen slightly since the early 1980's, and the rate for other racial groups has remained stable.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A decline in the prevalence of obesity among 2- to 5-year-olds in the United States was recently reported.

This paper investigates the changes in the German wage structure for full– time working males from 1999 to 2006. Our analysis builds on the task–based approach introduced by Autor et al. (2003), as implemented by Spitz-Oener (2006) for Germany, and also accounts for job complexity. We perform a Blinder–Oaxaca type decomposition of the changes in the entire wage distribution between 1999 and 200...
