In other words, that training leads to an improvement in productivity and at the same time, to decent working conditions, so that the dynamics of improvement are sustained over time.  It is unknown whether the wage increases implemented in the last 10 years (period 2014 to 2023) have improved the real income of workers for better well-being, which is why this research was proposed.
