According to data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, approximately 20 percent of individuals who were aged 25 to 33 in 1990 received employer-provided training between 1986 and 1990. Much of the disparity in training between men and women--22.3 percent of the men received training as compared to 18.4 percent of the women--originates from differences in the number of weeks worked by the 2 groups; among employees who had worked 200 weeks or more, the probability of women receiving training was similar to that of men. Further analysis indicates that, on average, training lasted twice as long for men as for women and lasted longer for blacks than for whites and Hispanics. To a great extent, workers who were more educated were more likely to receive training.
