Abstract	"This report considers two mechanisms by which initial vocational education and training (IVET) or continuing vocational education and training (CVET) might produce macrosocial benefits. First, the aggregate level of VET qualifications (measured by the incidence of VET qualifications among the population) might cause benefits through increasing the overall level of human capital. Second is its positive influence on education equality. Researching these two calls for very different methodological approaches. In the first case (human capital) an exploratory time-series estimation approach was applied (following Green et al., 2006). It is found that the macrosocial benefits of VET are, largely, equal to those of general education (of comparable level). In the second case (equity) institutional arrangements through which VET may influence education equity were explored qualitatively with selected country case studies. The evidence shows that reducing the academic/vocational divide, reducing tracking (or using IVET to reintegrate onto mainstream tracks), mitigating against gender or ethnic inequality in IVET and CVET, integrating IVET and CVET (for example through a national qualification system spanning both forms of VET) and aiding the transition between VET and labour markets, tend to promote education equality. So long as that appropriate institutional arrangements are made, VET is important for equity and, therefore, for social cohesion." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
