ABSTRACT
This paper examines the how upper secondary vocational education affects
the individuals' employment sector outcomes as compared to general education
at the same level does. The paper segments the labour market into four
employment sectors according to the goods or services produced.
In addition to the four employment sectors, unemployment and non-participation
are also included as the possible labour market outcomes of the individuals
in the model. This paper finds that as compared to general education at
the same level, upper secondary vocational education significantly increase
the individuals' probabilities of employment in the industrial sector as
well as all of the three non-agricultural sectors employment. Upper secondary
vocational education, the paper argues, is a supplier of skills needed
for Thailand's industrialisation process.
