| Abstract | This paper assesses empirically the role played by households' education levels and training types in determining the poverty status of households in Senegal in 2005. A probit model is estimated separ...ately for urban and rural areas as well as for men and women. The results show that the levels of education and types of trainings have significant but different propensity for poverty reduction. Related to the education levels, the findings show that it is only from the senior high school that education has a significant impact on the probability of poverty reduction in urban and rural areas as well as for men and women. Besides, the findings show that on-the-job training has higher impact in rural than in urban areas. The result suggests the need for a review of the level of compulsory education in Senegal up to senior high school.show more |
