General versus vocational secondary education in developing countries: A review of the rates of return evidence

Journal of Development Studies, 1996, vol. 33, issue 2, 230-247

Abstract: This article questions the prevailing orthodoxy concerning the social rates of return to general and vocational secondary education in developing countries. A critical examination of all the rates of return studies that have been used to establish this orthodoxy reveals that for the large majority of them, social RORs to general secondary education are not significantly higher than for specialist secondary vocational education.
