Abstract
Individuals with more years of education generally acquire more training later on in life. Such a relationship may be due to skills learned in early periods increasing returns to educational investments in later periods. This paper addresses the question whether the complementarity between education and training is causal. The identifi cation is based on exogenous variation in years of education due to a reform of the schooling
system and the buildup of universities. Results confi rm that education has a signifi cant impact on training participation during working life.
