It is a descriptive presentation of the status of youth in the spring of 1979--their position and problems in the labor market; their reactions to school and the factors influencing their schooling decisions; their training, both the government sponsored and other vocational training which they receive; their health status; and their attitudes, both towards their present situations and the future. Eleven additional chapters define topics on labor force participation and employment status of the youth for the week in which they were interviewed in 1979; examine the employment conditions for those youth who were employed at the time of the survey; present the work experience of the youth for the preceding year, 1978, and analyze the determinants of weeks worked and unemployed during the year; discuss job search motives and techniques of youth and their willingness to accept specific jobs at various wages; study the attitudes of young people toward high school, its programs, and their reasons for not completing school or for attending college; examines participants in government sponsored training programs, the types of services received, and their attitudes toward these programs; deal with the post-high school training provided outside of regular schools, government programs, and the military; study the health status of young people at the time they were interviewed; detail the extend of age, race, sex discrimination felt by young people as well as their perception of the difficulties they have in the labor market; examine the educational, occupational, and fertility aspirations of the young people and their desire for further training; and present a summary of the major findings.

4.	Pathways to the Future: A Longitudinal Study of Young Americans. Preliminary Report: Youth and the Labor Market - 1979 Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1980 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Attitudes; Discrimination; Discrimination, Job; Educational Aspirations/Expectations; Employment, Youth; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Job Search; Job Training; Job Turnover; Unemployment, Youth This is the first report on a nationally representative sample of the 32.9 million civilian young people who were ages 14-21 on January 1, 1979. This first survey shows that young Americans are very much interested in work; more than half of these young persons were either working or looking for work. Many young persons carry both school and work responsibilities. Race and sex discrimination in the labor market continued to cause problems for youth. Minorities had equal aspirations for education, were more willing to work, and were seeking employment as conscientiously as white youth. The difference appeared to be that employers discounted their contribution as employees because of their race or ethnic background. Many young persons drop out of school and begin immediately to have employment problems. About 2.6 million young men and women had participated in government training programs between the first day of 1978 and their interview date in 1979. In this report further details are provided about the employment and unemployment status of these young persons, their reactions to school, their assessment of Federal Government training programs, their vocational training, their attitudes toward work and their aspirations and expectations for the future.

This study looks at differences in high school curricula and relates high school training to occupations and labor market success. The authors examine whether the returns to vocational training acquired in high school are contingent on whether students obtain an occupation corresponding to their specialty area and examine race and sex differences in both high school training and labor market opportunities.

6.	Dropping Out of High School: The Influence of Race, Sex, and Family Background American Educational Research Journal 20,2 (Summer 1983): 199-220. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1162594 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Educational Research Association Keyword(s): Children; Dropouts; Family Background and Culture; High School; High School Dropouts; Marriage Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines the extent of the high school dropout problem in l979 and investigates both the stated reasons students leave school and some of the underlying factors influencing their decision. Particular attention is focused on differences by sex, race, and family background. Data for this research come from the NLSY, a national sample of youth who were 14 to 21 years of age in l979. A multivariate model is developed to estimate the effects of family background and other factors on the decision to drop out of school. Several results emerge from the study. The reasons students cite for leaving school vary widely, with women more likely to leave because of pregnancy or marriage and men more likely to leave to go to work. Family background strongly influences the propensity to drop out of school and accounts for virtually all of the racial differences in dropout rates. A variety of other factors, including ability and aspirations, also influence this decision.

Inheritance of Earnings and Wealth Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1980 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Family Resources; Inheritance; Schooling; Socioeconomic Status (SES) The author examines the role of wealth in explaining the relationship between family background and adult economic status for white and black males. These results show that parental wealth as a financial component of family background exerts an influence on schooling that is independent of other social components of family environment. This influence is stronger for black males than white males. Parental wealth has a direct effect on earnings for white males only. In addition, parental wealth has a direct effect on son's wealth after controlling for its effects on schooling and earnings. Finally, the total effect of parental wealth and wealth of white males is much stronger than its effect on earnings.

Interview data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Labor Market Experience for a sample of 12,700 youths aged 14-21 are used to examine several elements of their high school & Coll experiences, noting their variation by race, sex, & SE background. Examined at the high school level are attitudes toward school, performance, programs & courses, & the problems of dropping out; at the Coll level, they include participation rates, attendance patterns, major fields of study, & sources of financial aid. Results reveal substantial differences in some areas but not in others; eg, attitudes toward school & Coll participation rates vary little among groups, while high school dropout rates vary widely among race & SE groups, & Coll majors vary somewhat among racial groups & particularly between men & women. 8 Tables, 29 References.

Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0272775784900037 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): College Graduates; Earnings; Educational Returns This paper examines the relative economic benefits for white male college graduates in l97l and l976. It focuses on two factors that may account for some of the observed differences in the economic value of college: different indicators of economic benefits and variations in benefits by college degree and major. The results suggest that the relative economic benefits for white male college graduates changed little in the first half of the l970s. In both years, relative benefits do depend, however, on the area and type of college degree as well as the particular economic measure being considered.

The first model was based on workers' mean weekly earnings. The second model was based on the discrepancy between the skill requirements of jobs and workers' educational skills. The results indicate that the economic position of male college graduates compared to high school graduates did not decline during this period in terms of relative earnings, but did decline in terms of the relative utilization of educational skills.

Interview data from a national subsample of fathers & sons (N = 482, including 366 whites & 109 blacks, chosen from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience, are used to examine the extent to which wealth explains the relationship between family background & adult economic status for white & black Ms. Wealth is treated both as a component of family background & as a measure of adult economic status. The findings reveal that parental wealth influences schooling independent of other, social components of family environment. For white Ms, parental wealth has a direct effect on earnings, even controlling for its effect on schooling. Also, for white Ms, parental wealth exerts a direct & stronger effect on son's wealth after controlling for its effects on schooling & earnings. 6 Tables. Modified HA

This study examines whether differences in high school curricula lead to differences in labor market opportunities for persons who complete 10 to 12 years of schooling and acquire no postsecondary training. Data come from the NLSY and include detailed information on course work taken from high school transcripts. The results show no systematic advantage of one high school curriculum relative to another, although in some instances--for some students and in some areas--vocational preparation produces superior labor market effects to those produced by other curricula.
