Did the CETA System Work for Disadvantaged Youth? An Overview of Program Impacts after Program Participation In: CETA Youth Employment Record: Final Report to US Department of Labor. A. Hahn and R. Lerman, eds. Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Labor, 1983. Also: http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/search/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb=true&_&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_0=ED241619&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_0=no&accno=ED241619 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA); Socioeconomic Status (SES); Teenagers; Vocational Education An analysis of comparison between the CETA group and a matched comparison group showed one consistent result: CETA youth worked less in unsubsidized jobs than their matched counterparts. A two part explanation is presented to account for this finding: (1) the unsubsidized work of the CETA group was low because of continuing subsidized work; (2) as subsidized jobs ended, unsubsidized jobs did not replace them immediately since they were found only slowly. The unsubsidized work of the CETA group consequently remained below that of their counterparts. One can surmise that the CETA group shortfall should be only temporary and that eventually unsubsidized jobs will be found, but this assumption remains to be tested when later NLSY interview waves become available. Also examined were the positive CETA effects for particular subgroups. No single pattern emerged for who gains, but findings include: (1) slightly more CETA youth enrolled in school in both follow up years; (2) total weeks worked was greater among CETA youth in 1979; (3) minority CETA participants who were in school in the follow up year worked more weeks of unsubsidized jobs than their matches in 1979 but not in 1980; (4) by 1980 more CETA young women (enrolled in school and working) worked than their counterparts in unsubsidized jobs; and (5) generally, the only unsubsidized employment variable for which a CETA advantage appeared is earnings per week. |
