• W2223179946 abstract "Increase in real earnings is one way to improve employees’ welfare and private returns to education shape demand for education. Four waves of data drawn from surveys of Kenya’s manufacturing sector are used to explore changes in real earnings and to estimate returns to education. The semi-parametric quantile regression and least squares methods are used to estimate human capital earnings functions. The results suggest, that real hourly and monthly earnings increased by 5-6 per cent per year between 1993 and 2000. This occurred at the mean, median, lower quantile and upper quantile of the conditional earnings distribution. The marginal return to primary education stands at 4-5 per cent while that to secondary education is approximately 13 per cent. The return to university education is 26 per cent. However, there is variation in returns to education along the conditional earnings distribution. Although the standard finding that returns to education increase with education is replicated here, education has greater return for employees in the upper part of the distribution.

The surveys from 1993 to 1995 were part of the Regional Program on Enterprise Development (RPED) organised by the World Bank. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) funded the survey in 2000. I would like to thank Prof.Arne Bigsten and Dr. Mans Soderbom for availing the data and for comments on earlier versions of the paper. I also thank Dr. Francis Teal and Prof. Henry Ohlsson for their comments on earlier versions of the paper. Sten Dieden provided much help in using STATA and I thank him also." @default.
