Thanks for sharing our research @DaveEvansPhD! Our findings suggest that it is perhaps not enough to help workers better engage with online platforms. To achieve sustained success, workers might need help to bring their technical skills up to a globally competitive level.
Can training help workers in middle-income countries to access online marketplaces? In El Salvador, the training boosted the probability of getting at least one contract but no broader labor outcomes. Bad initial job ratings may be to blame.
