A Tale of Two Cohorts: Educational Differentials in Labor Market Outcomes Cumulated over the Early Life Course Presented: Atlanta GA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2022 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Income; Labor Market Outcomes; Unions; Work Histories; Work Hours/Schedule Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Literature highlights increasingly prolonged and uncertain processes of transition to adulthood and particularly increased challenge in making transition to stable and regular work, in the context of rising economic inequality and restructuring. Following two NLS cohorts who entered the labor market in 1980s and 2000s, respectively, we compare four key labor market outcomes -- annual income, work hours, numbers of transitions in and out of the labor force, and years covered by union, cumulated between ages 22 and 35. We focus on differences in cumulative outcomes between the more- and less-educated and how the educational gaps differ between two cohorts. The younger cohort, both men and women, cumulates less income, works more hours, has more frequent in/out of the labor force, and has less years covered by union than their older counterpart. Educational gaps are mostly similar between two cohorts or slightly smaller for the younger than older cohort. |
