Labor Market Effects of Participation in Shadow Education: Evidence from South Kore

Cheolsung Park

Korean Economic Review, 2015, vol. 31, 383-411

Abstract: I study the effect of participation in shadow education (private tutoring) in the eleventh grade on the duration of job search for the first job after one��s completing education. I find that participation in shadow education increases significantly the probability of exit from job search to employment of high quality which offers a regular staff position and a job that requires qualification above or commensurate with an individual��s education level and has been desired by the individual. The effect of participation in shadow education on employment is particularly strong and large for poor academic performers in school. I also find that participation in shadow education in high school increases the educational attainment and the probability of getting better grade in post-secondary education for poor academic performers.
