Dual labour markets and (lack of) on-the-job training: PIAAC evidence from Spain and other EU countries

Using the Spanish micro data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), [the authors] first document how the excessive gap in employment protection between indefinite and temporary workers leads to large differentials in on-the-job training (OTJ) against the latter. Next, [the authors] find that that the lower specific training received by temporary workers is correlated with lower literacy and numeracy scores achieved in the PIAAC study. Finally, [the authors] provide further PIAAC cross-country evidence showing that OJT gaps are quite lower in those European labour markets where dualism is less entrenched than in those where it is more extended.
