Perceptions of craftsmen and apprentices regarding self-employment skill acquisition in the Kenyan informal sector
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which self-employment skills were taught by craftsmen to apprentices involved in informal apprenticeship activities. The results were obtained from structured interviews with 52 craftsmen and 52 apprentices who were involved in apprenticeship activities in the informal sector in Nairobi. The population consisted of craftsmen and apprentices in auto-repair, metalwork, and woodwork trades. A multistage cluster sampling technique was used to select the craftsmen and apprentices from target population. Frequency distributions, percentages and measures of central tendencies were used to analyze descriptive data while analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze parametric data.
