Vocational and Technical Education in Development: Theoretical Analysis of Strategic Effects on Rates of Return.

McMahon, Walter W.; And Others

Economics of Education Review, v11 n3 p181-94 1992

Three strategic effects on the rates of return to vocational and technical education (VOTEC) are considered: (1) the availability of complementary inputs such as general education; (2) the capacity of VOTEC to teach continuing adaptation to technical change; and (3) economies of scale that can be realized.
