Labor Force Changes and Participation in Secondary Vocational Education in the United States from 1979-1985 Ph.D. Dissertation, Pennsylvania State University, 1988 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Education, Secondary; Employment, Youth; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Labor Force Participation; Unemployment, Youth; Vocational Education Data from the NLSY 1979-1985 were used to estimate changes in probabilities, for out-of-school youth, of labor force changes (from not employed to employed and from employed to not employed) associated with four measures of participation in high school vocational education. The first measure compared probabilities of labor force changes of 5,748 youth who had vocational credits with 2,403 students who had no vocational credits. The second measure compared probabilities of labor force changes with participation in agriculture education, distributive education, health education, home economics education, office education, and trade and industrial education. The third and fourth measures compared probabilities of labor force changes associated with number of credits in vocational education and number of credits in each vocational program. Probabilities of labor force changes were identified as a logistic function of the four measures by race and sex. Changes in probabilities were either insignificant at the .1 level or too small to indicate practical differences in probability of labor force change between participation in high school vocational education and any other curriculum.
