Abstract

This paper analyzes the relationship between technical education and the first demographic dividend in Minas Gerais. The hypothesis is that those who received technical training are more likely to get employed and have higher earnings. Then, the technical training would be a good investment to promote a higher economic and social development, taking advantage of the favorable demographic situation. We used data from the 2009 and the 2011 Minas Gerais Household Survey (PAD-MG), developed by the João Pinheiro Foundation (FJP). For the evaluation of earnings, ordinary least squared models were estimated. For the analysis of employability, logistic models were estimated. From the results, it is possible to note that those who get technical training get higher average earnings, and greater chances of entering the labor market, keeping everything else constant.
