abstract: 'This study presents the outcomes of a technical and life-skills training
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
program in Mexico aimed to help women from low socioeconomic status
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(SES) find formal employment in sales, retail, and/or customer service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To determine the extent to which the program reached its target
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
population and its impacts, researchers analyzed a national database of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
over sixty-eight thousand Mexican beneficiaries from 2016 to 2020 and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conducted telephone surveys with a representative sample of women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
beneficiaries in Veracruz. Results from the national-level analysis of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5,326 women participants identified as low SES indicate that 23 \% found
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
better economic and educational opportunities. The state-level analysis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of 94 low SES women in Veracruz was higher, with 40 \% reporting to have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
found better opportunities; of those who reported salary information,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
roughly half improved their income. Lessons learned are discussed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regarding reaching target populations and the potential of job training
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

programs in developing countries.'
