Abstract

This report reviews literature and data relating to the economics of vocational education and training (VET) in Australia. It considers: the macro changes in employment in Australia and how they might relate to VET; changes in the economy at a more micro level and in particular the effect of modifications to work organisation and structural change on skill requirements; the effect of economic change on equity and the implications for VET; efficiency of VET, its costs and outcomes; the financing of VET and its relationship to the development or a training market.
