This report describes a study that examined three types of change that affect career development: (1) changes in jobs and behavior that occur as people mature and age, (2) cultural changes that alter the opportunities and attitudes of people born at different times in history, and (3) changes in the environment that affect the opportunities and behavior of people. Following an introductory chapter, chapter 2 reviews the major approaches to career development in sociology and psychology while chapter 3 outlines how the two approaches can be combined. Chapter 4 describes the development and validity of the occupational status and the occupational field classifications. The fifth chapter describes the National Longitudinal Survey data used in the study. The next three chapters describe patterns of career outcomes: the employment status and kinds of work held at different ages, the occupational aspirations men have at different ages, and the extent to which earlier aspirations and jobs determine later jobs held. Chapter 10 focuses on family and personal background variables that are associated with entering different fields and levels of work, while chapter 11 focuses on the influence of educational and economic environments. The final two chapters review the theoretical and practical implications of the study. (LRA) ERIC Document Number: ED186699

3.	Effects of Vocational Education Programs: Research Findings and Issues In: Planning Papers for the Vocational Education Study. Washington DC: National Institute of Education, 1979 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: National Institute of Education, U.S. Keyword(s): Discrimination, Sex; Educational Aspirations/Expectations; High School Curriculum; NLS of H.S. Class of 1972; Occupational Aspirations; Project Talent; Vocational Education; Work Knowledge Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper contains a review of available data and evidence from selected national surveys bearing upon vocational education issues. After a brief introduction to the national surveys, the identification of the high school curriculum of respondents is discussed, revealing shortcomings and weaknesses that have indeterminate effects upon findings based on these data. The case of female vocational students suggests that the vocational programs in high schools should be interpreted separately by sex. Findings presented on the high school students include curriculum differences in students' backgrounds and aptitudes, in attitudes toward school, in educational aspirations, in occupational goals, in occupational information, and on career development issues. This review includes topics concerning curricular effects in basic skills, on retention in high school, in transition to college and on educational attainment, and in acquisition of post-school training. Finally, the review discusses the effects of curriculum and training upon post-school labor market and psychological or attitudinal outcomes.

This report summarizes the most important findings in a study designed to investigate the linkages between education and fertility in the United States. The data base for this investigation is the National Longitudinal Survey (NLS) of women aged 30 through 44 by the Bureau of Census. The basic hypothesis is that education will affect fertility and that fertility and marriage decisions will affect educational choice. Results indicate that a woman marrying and having her first child at age 16 will complete 3.5 fewer years education than a woman who never marries. Educational choice is significantly affected by the individual's socioeconomic status--as reflected in parents' education and occupation--and by attitudes towards housework and child care activities. The total cost of children, both explicit and implicit, varies not only with family size, but also with the timing of family formation. It is apparent that if child births are delayed until the mother has completed her formal education, then the foregone education costs of fertility will be minimal.

5.	Economics of Fertility, Educational Choice and Labor Force Behavior Working Draft, National Institute of Education Monograph, 1976 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: National Institute of Education, U.S. Keyword(s): Children; Educational Attainment; Family Resources; Fertility; Marriage; Schooling; Simultaneity; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Wives Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This monograph summarizes the findings of the investigation of the relationships among family size, educational choice, marital patterns, and labor force behavior of American women between the ages of 30 to 44 in l967. This study, which concentrates on the linkages between fertility and other aspects of household activity, seeks to integrate models of fertility and home and market activities into a comprehensive model of household behavior. To this end, we attempt to develop a household behavior model which reveals the simultaneous linkages among family size, education of parents and children, female earnings patterns, the timing of marriage, and the allocation of time for working, caring for children, and other activities.

6.	Does Vocational Education Make a Difference? A Review of Previous Research and Reanalysis of National Longitudinal Data Sets Working Paper ERIC Document ED208254, National Institute of Education, Cambridge MA, The Huron Institute, 1981. Also: http://www.eric.ed.gov/PDFS/ED208254.pdf Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: National Institute of Education, U.S. Keyword(s): Bias Decomposition; Education, Secondary; Educational Attainment; Educational Returns; Employment; High School Completion/Graduates; Job Knowledge; NLS of H.S. Class of 1972; Schooling; Test Scores/Test theory/IRT Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Designed to determine whether vocational education appears to make a difference in terms of a variety of outcomes, including opportunities for employment and advanced education and training, this report contains a review of previous national and non-national research concerning the effects of vocational education and a reanalysis of three national longitudinal data sets. The various methodological issues faced both in reviewing previous research and in reanalyzing national longitudinal data sets are discussed. Examined next are such characteristics of secondary vocational students and graduates as coursework taken, background, and test score differences. A variety of gainful employment outcomes associated with participation in secondary education programs is assessed, including employment status, employer satisfaction, job satisfaction, and self-employment. Also examined are occupational knowledge and skills, occupational advancement, and citizenship. Finally, these same student characteristics and outcome variables are examined with respect to postsecondary programs. The results of the research, as regards the title question, is a qualified "yes." Beyond that, an overall summary and a series of conclusions address the question in detail. Included in appendixes are descriptions of various survey samples, cross-tabular procedures and response procedures, and supplemental data on postsecondary enrollment patterns.
