Through analysis of Australian and United States longitudinal data
sets, this project discusses the benefits of further training for people
with low levels of numeracy.
- The project shows that individuals with low numeracy skills are
disadvantaged members of the workforce in terms of skill levels; this
group is also
the least likely to be given opportunities for further training,
and generally undertake lower levels of training.
- When they are able to participate in on-the-job training programs,
they receive positive and significant benefits, such as higher wages.
- Workers who display higher levels of skills are normally those with
longer tenure and more experience.
