The Effect of Temporary Contracts on Human Capital Accumulation in ChileSusana Carpioaffiliation not provided to SSRN David Giuliodoriaffiliation not provided to SSRN Graciana RucciUniversity of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - Department of Economics; University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - Department of Economics Rodolfo StucchiInter-American Development Bank March 1, 2011 IDB Working Paper No. IDB-WP-253 Abstract: This paper studies the probability of receiving employer-paid training and training independently of who finance it for permanent and temporary workers in Chile. We use data from the Social Protection Survey, EPS, which allow us to construct a panel of workers with information from 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2009. Our results suggest that having a temporary contract in Chile reduces the probability of receiving employer-paid training. We also find that this deficit is not compensated by other types of training. This finding is important for two reasons. First, the proportion of temporary workers that obtain an open-ended contract is low. Second, the productivity growth in Chile after 1997 is practically zero and human capital accumulation is one of the factors that might help to recover the path of productivity growth.
