The qualification of the workforce in Cameroon: social capital, a hindrance or a lever
Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyse the effects of social capital on the qualification of workers in the Cameroonian labour market. For a complete and contextual understanding of social capital, Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) is used to construct a composite index of social capital combining the structural, relational, and cognitive dimensions. The data used come from the fourth Cameroonian household survey conducted by the National Institute of Statistics in 2014.
This research is part of the G2LM Gender, Growth and Labour Markets in Low-Income Countries programme.
