1.	Early Career Contingencies in the Process of Status Attainment Final Report, Manpower Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1977 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Children; Educational Attainment; Employment; Marriage; Occupational Attainment; Socioeconomic Status (SES) The Young Men sample of the NLS was used to investigate the effects of marriage and parenthood on educational and occupational attainment. The subjects were 14 through 24 years of age in l966 and were followed through l970. Multiple regression analyses were conducted for separate sub-samples which were homogeneous with respect to age, race, marital status and school enrollment status in l966.

2.	Sex Differences in Early Contingencies in Attainment Report, U.S. Department of Labor, 1975 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Children; Earnings; Educational Attainment; Marriage; Occupational Attainment; Socioeconomic Status (SES) The effect of marriage and parenthood on educational and occupational attainment is investigated. The findings show that significant depressing effects on both educational and occupational attainments are associated with early marriage and early parenthood. For white women, age at marriage and parenthood are highly correlated and the separate effects of each are difficult to specify. In comparison, early marriage and early parenthood produce independent depressing effects for blacks. Females experience greater educational losses than males due to marriage, males show no loss due to parenthood, and females suffer occupational losses because of early marriage and early parenthood.

Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/351735 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Educational Aspirations/Expectations; Educational Attainment; High School; I.Q.; Marriage; Teenagers In this study, the effects of early marriage are assessed within a multivariate model of educational attainment. Seven separate subsamples of young males are analyzed with respect to race and age, who were unmarried and in school in 1966. By 1970, those in the younger age cohorts of both races who had married in the interim had significantly less education, even after the effects of a powerful set of other predictive variables are considered. Prior educational attainment as well as age at marriage are important variables; age at marriage appears to have a depressing effect for those in high school at age 17 but not for those in college at the same age.

4.	Labor Sectors and the Status Attainment Process: Race and Sex Comparisons Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1981 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Discrimination, Sex; Earnings; Employment; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Labor Market, Secondary; Mobility; Occupational Attainment; Simultaneity; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Various hypotheses from the theory of dual labor markets about why race and sex differentials in earnings and occupational attainments continue to exist are tested. Using eight year panel data from the NLS of Young Men and Young Women, simultaneous equation models and dynamic models of mobility are used to compare the early career processes of black and white men and women. In general, the empirical evidence does not support the notion of a strict bimodal division of the economy into primary and secondary labor sectors. Mobility exists between the sectors and the earnings structure shows only minimal evidence of bipolarization.

Labor Sectors and the Status Attainment Process: Race and Sex Comparisons Ph.D. Dissertation, Duke University, 1981 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Discrimination, Sex; Dual Economic Theory; Mobility; Occupational Attainment; Occupational Segregation; Racial Differences; Simultaneity; Training, Occupational A large body of research in both sociology and economics has attempted to explain race and sex differences in placement within the American stratification system. Grounded in functionalist and neo-classical theories, prior empirical studies have focused almost exclusively on individual characteristics as sources of explanation of attainments. The present research goes well beyond these efforts by including measures of structural constraints on attainment in addition to the standard measures of individual characteristics. Of particular interest are hypotheses about the long term consequences of sectoral placement in a segmented (dual) labor market. Using eight year panel data from the NLS of Young Men and Women, simultaneous equation models and dynamic models of mobility are used to compare the career processes of black and white men and women. The empirical evidence from these analyses does not support the notion of a strict bimodal division of the industrial economy into primary and secondary sectors. Mobility exists between the sectors and the earnings structure shows only minimal evidence of bipolarization. Nor is there any evidence that the underlying processes by which wages are assigned to given levels of occupational achievement in the two sectors differ. Finally, despite the DLM stress on institutional factors which impede mobility, the present data seem to suggest the lack of any long term effects on occupational training or employment stability within careers. What is revealed by the study is a distinct pattern of discrimination even within sectors of the economy. Though race discrimination continues to exist, sex discrimination appears to be far more striking and pervasive. This sex discrimination appears to occur primarily as a result of occupational segregation and industrial segregation at a level too fine to be captured by a gross dichotomization of industries. A call is given for more research wherein the unit of analysis is the industry or firm
