ABSTRACT

I study the effect of an education-leave subsidy for the employed on labor-market outcomes and educational attainment using Finnish administrative linked employer-employee panel data and matching methods. The adult education allowance is available to employees with at least eight years of work experience and allows them to take a leave for 2–18 months to participate in an education program. I find large positive treatment effects on educational attainment and changing occupation. The treatment effects on earnings and employment are negative during the lock-in period and close to zero afterward. The effects are more positive for the less educated.

教育休假计划对受教育程度和劳动力市场结果的影响

摘要

我使用芬兰行政相关的雇主-雇员面板数据和匹配方法研究了受雇者的教育休假补贴对劳动力市场结果和教育程度的影响。成人教育津贴适用于至少有八年工作经验的员工，并允许他们休假 2-18 个月参加教育计划。我发现对教育程度和职业变化有很大的积极治疗效果。在锁定期内，对收入和就业的处理效果是负面的，之后接近于零。对于受教育程度较低的人，这种影响更为积极。
