  abstract = {{T}raining costs may hamper intra-firm human capital accumulation. {A}s a consequence, firms may be tempted to have workers pay for their on-the-job training ({OJT}). {I}n this paper, we analyse the links of {OJT} and worker remuneration in the suburb of {T}unis, using case study data for eight firms. {W}e find that the duration of former {OJT} negatively influences starting wages, while there is no anticipated effect of future training on wages at the firm entry. {I}n contrast, current wages are positively affected by former {OJT} but negatively affected by ongoing {OJT}. {T}hese results provide very rare empirical support in {L}ess {D}eveloped {C}ountries ({LDC}s) for classical human capital theories and cost sharing theories applied to {OJT}.},
