2 Outline of presentation 1. Motivation Vocational education expansion 2. Data 3. Determinants of choice of type 4. Effects of high school type Entire sample Cohort vs. age effects Father s education, test score

3 Vocational education is declining in Indonesia Percent Share of vocational high schools (SMK) students to total senior secondary Predicted

4 New policy to reverse decline Current ratio of SMK to SMA students is 30:70 Goal is to increase ratio to 50:50 by 2010, and 70:30 by 2015 Implies moving 4.1 million students into SMK Millions SMA & SMK Enrollment, 2015 Motivated by desire to reduce unemployment. 1 0 Weak empirical support SMA SMK SMA SMK Predicted Targeted

5 Planned VTE expansion will raise public costs Source: Ghazali (2006) and IFLS3

6 Existing research is mixed Vocational graduates earn premiums in: Egypt (El-Hamidi, 2006) Isreal (Neuman and Ziderman) Thailand (Moenjak and Worswick, 2003) Penalties in: Suriname (Horowitz and Schenzler, 1999) Tanzania for university grads (Kahyara and Teal, 2008)

7 Existing research is mixed No discernible differences in: South Korea (KRIVET, 2008) Singapore (Sakellariou, 2003) Romania (Malamud & Pop-Eleches, 2008) Variety of evidence on gender differences Males: SMK earn higher in Egypt but lower in Singapore. Females: SMK earn higher in Singapore but lower in Egypt.

8 Past research in Indonesia can be improved VTE results in neither advantage nor disadvantage with respect to earnings or employment (Chen, 2009). But Wide confidence intervals: OLS: 0 to 60% of mean earnings IV: -50 to 150% of mean earnings Sample restricted to adults under percent of sample still in college. Selection correction excludes head education, test scores, prior household income from earnings regression Few control variables (gender, rural, age)

9 Our contributions Separate men and women Distinguish between public and private schools Several cohorts (born between 1940 and 1980) Rich set of predetermined controls Parental education (even if non-coresident) District of Jr. High school dummies Four main LM indicators Participation, unemployment, formal work, wage

10 Important to separate by gender Because of differences in both participation and vocational education majors Women tend to study business or tourism rather than technical or industrial subjects.

11 Main messages: Public VTE Overall, no evidence of wage effect. Confidence intervals: -10 to 12 percent for men -6 to 23 percent for women Worrisome recent fall in returns for most recent cohort of men -29 percent at age 24 (vs. 39 percent for middle cohort) -43 percent at age 31 (vs. -8 for older cohort)

12 Main results: Other types Large public school premium 20 percent wage premium for men Private general high schools are underperforming Outcomes similar to private VTE, despite observably more privileged students Why do men attend private general schools?

13 Outline 1. Data and sample 2. Determinants of School type 3. Labor Market Effects of school type Aggregate Effects Cohort and Age Effects Effects by father s education and student test score 4. Conclusion

14 Data Construction Four rounds of Indonesian Family Life Survey 1993, 1997, 2000, ,300 households in 1993, 12,600 by provinces representing 83% of Indonesia in 1993 Retrospective data on school attendance Type of school collected at all school levels Includes test scores for those born 1983 or later. We limit to high school graduates that are out of school

22 Double Robust Regression Rebalances sample Weight observations by inverse probability that the type of school attended was chosen. Reduces precision but increases robustness to nonlinear functional forms.

43 Outcomes by father s education Effect of school type strongest for children of lesseducated parents For these men, private school has strong negative effect on male wage For these women, private general is associated with reduced formality.

44 Summary Selection Rank on test score: Public general, Public VTE, private general, private VTE Rank by parent education: Private general, public general, Public VTE, private VTE

45 Summary Outcomes At most, small benefit from Public VTE Boosts formality by 3.6 pp for men Large (20%) wage penalty for privately schooled men Suggests that test scores and peer effects are important determinants of future earnings for men

46 Summary Private general graduates are underperforming Perform as poorly or worse than private VTE grads despite more educated parents. VTE penalty increased dramatically for recent male graduates Could be related to shift towards service sector Annual growth by sector Value Added Employment Industry 9.0% 4.3% 6.9% 2.5% Services 7.0% 6.3% 6.0% 4.0%

47 Policy implications Expansion should proceed with caution, given recent fall in male graduates earnings Ensure students with highest test scores can attend public school Re-examine industrial public VTE curriculum Private VTE appears to be more effective then private general at preparing the weakest students

48 The private general school puzzle Why is there a private school wage penalty for men but not women? Patterns of participation? Why do well-educated parents send their children to private general schools? Poorly functioning market for information on quality of private general schools? Non-academic factors relatively important in determining preferences?
