Abstract

Is continuous training considered as an investment or rather as an adjustment variable in times of crisis in France ? Continuous training practices varied across firms in 2010 depending on the adjustments implemented (in terms of variation in the workforce, restructuring, short-time working etc.). Employees in firms with larger reductions in the workforce and conversely those in firms which expanded despite the crisis got relatively lower access to training (hypothesis of cost reduction for the former and of higher cost opportunity of training for the latter). However, a specific feature appears for employees in firms which implemented short-time working : they did not get more frequent access to training but when they did, they were trained for longer hours.
