The Upward Trend in Women's College-Going: The Role of Teenagers' Anticipated Future Labour Force Attachment Applied Economics 50,30 (2018): 3271-3284. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00036846.2017.1420888 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97, Young Women Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): College Education; Expectations/Intentions; Labor Force Participation This article focuses on the role of teenagers' anticipated labour force participation in explaining the upward trend in U.S. women's college-going.

This finding, combined with the trend towards higher work expectations of young women across birth cohorts, may account in part for the upward trends in women's college attendance and completion. |
