What Determines Who Obtains National Vocational Qualifications?
This paper assesses the determinants of National Vocational Qualification/ Scottish Vocational Qualification (NVQ/SVQ) acquisition, using a probit model, and discusses the possible implications for government policy. Labour Force Survey data are used to show that the factors which positively affect the likelihood of having an NVQ or SVQ contradict the findings of earlier papers on the determinants of all work-related training. In particular, it is found that being female and non-white increase the chances of having an NVQ, and there is a negative relationship between previous formal qualifications and the likelihood of having an NVQ.
