Description

If you’re applying for a job, you want to know what you’re good at, and be able to

prove it to the recruiter. If doing the recruiting, you want some evidence about who

the best candidates would be. In low- or middle-income countries, this information is

often in short supply. How does this affect who gets a job, and the hiring process? In

the latest in our collaborations with J-Pal to discuss their policy insights, Marianne

Bertrand of Chicago Booth School, also Co-Chair, Labor Markets at J-Pal, and

Stefano Caria of the University of Warwick, tell Tim Phillips about the impact of skills

signals on employment.
