This report summarizes a briefing given on October 21, 1982, from the military portion of the NLSY presented to the Manpower Research and Department Planning Committee of the Office of Naval Research given by Michael E. Borus and Choongsoo Kim of The Ohio State University Center for Human Resource Research. Several findings with policy implications arise from the analysis. The All-Volunteer Force has been successful in attracting able young people, particularly from among minorities. The desire for occupational training is a major factor associated with enlistment among white men. While men in the service were more likely to be married, marriage seemed to increase reenlistment intentions among men and decrease them among women. Those young people with higher educational aspirations were more likely to enlist, implying that both in-service and post-service educational benefits may be an aid to recruitment.

Propensity of Young Women to Enlist in the Military: A Report to Congress
Working Paper, Defense Manpower Data Center, U.S. Department of Defense, Arlington VA, 1985
Cohort(s): NLSY79

Keyword(s): Military Enlistment; Military Service; Women

After briefly reviewing the history of women's participation in the Armed Forces and public attitudes toward their participation, the study turns to an analysis of recent data from three major ongoing surveys of American youth-- the Youth Attitude Tracking Study, the NLSY, and High School and Beyond. Together the studies provide a coherent picture of the propensity of women to enlist. Taken together, the research findings suggest that women's attitudes toward the military reflect an outlook which is rather different from men's. Not only are women in the aggregate less interested in military service, but those who are interested tend to view the service in a broader context. Their interest in the military is more likely to be limited and qualified by interests in other areas. This outlook, and the social context of which it is a part, may be major determinants of the future potential for women's participation in the Armed Forces.
