1.	Who Participates in New Vocational Programs? A Preliminary Analysis of Student Data from NLSY97 NCRVE Publication MDS-1300. Berkeley, CA: National Center for Research in Vocational Education, University of California - Berkeley, November 1999.

This paper presents a first look at new data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). The two main purposes of this paper are (1) to compare students in combined academic/vocational programs with high school students in other curricular categories in 1997 and (2) to compare the 1997 patterns with those found in earlier surveys. Previous studies have found that the proportion of high school students participating in vocational course sequences has declined during the 1980s and early 1990s, and vocational concentrators have increasingly represented a low-achieving segment of the student population. To counter these tendencies, public and private initiatives have promoted new forms of high school vocational education that include academic studies and lead to postsecondary education. A survey of high school administrators for NLSY97 found a marked increase in the prevalence of certain new vocational programs in the 1990s. This paper examines student data from NLSY97 to determine which students are participating in these new programs...This first look at the NLSY97 student data seems to confirm that new vocational programs, which permit students to combine academic and vocational studies, have moved career and technical education toward the mainstream of the high school curriculum and engaged a broader cross-section of the student population. Judgments about whether this trend is good or bad depend on beliefs about the purposes of vocational education in high school.

Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0272775782900036 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Dropouts; Educational Attainment; Employment; High School Dropouts; Unemployment Rate; Wages Using data from the NLSY and the High School and Beyond Survey, this paper estimates the effect of a high school diploma on success in the labor market over and above the effects of such prior characteristics as race, family background, IQ, school performance, and other unmeasured characteristics. Analyses of both data sets reveal that most or all of the differences in unemployment and wages between graduates and dropouts is attributable to a "coefficient effect" i.e., to differences in how measured characteristics are translated into labor market success rather than to differences in the measured characteristics themselves.

Also: http://ssrn.com/abstract=591463 Cohort(s): Mature Women, NLSY79, Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Gender Differences; Job Training; Literacy; Training, On-the-Job; Unemployment Rate, Regional This study uses data from surveys of U.S. employees to determine whether any trends are apparent in the proportion who say they receive some form of training at work. Discussions of economic change in the U.S. and elsewhere have frequently asserted that work has become more intellectually demanding. This implies that training in workplaces should have become more prevalent. However, the survey data do not reveal any overall trend in the prevalence of workplace training between 1970 and 2000. There did appear to be a rising trend for women, evidently reflecting women's increased representation in professional and managerial occupations. Throughout this period, more highly educated workers are more likely to say they receive training at work.
