Abstract

This study examined the correlation and covariance between education mismatch and skills mismatch in the Tanzanian Formal sector taking Dar es Salaam and Dodoma regions as case studies. The study employed cross sectional and Worker Self Assessment (WSA) techniques with 319 workers from public and private sectors selected by multistage cluster sampling. Office interviews were conducted to collect qualitative data using structured questionnaire. The SPSS-16 statistical package was used for data analysis. Using Chi square at 5% level of significance, the results reported an existence of relationship between education mismatch and skills mismatch (χ 2 =39.57; p=0.00). Using bivariate correlation, results portrayed a weak positive correlation between education mismatch and skills mismatch (Cor em,sm =0.241).
