An Attempt to Measure Differences in the Quality of Education by Race, Region, and Educational Level In: Economic Status of Black Women: An Exploratory Investigation. Washington DC: Staff Report, 1990 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Keyword(s): Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB); Educational Attainment; Geographical Variation; Racial Differences; Regions; Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) Utilizing data from the NLSY, this special analysis supplements data from three other data sets, the 1940-1980 Censuses, the 1970-1987 CPS, and the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation which are used in the main body of the report, to study racial and regional differences among women in educational attainment as measured by AFQT score and educational level. It was found that, regardless of the number of years of schooling, black women scored lower than white women. Regression analyses indicated that: (1) women's test scores rise with education and are lower overall for black women and for women living in the south; and (2) black women score relatively worse at higher, not lower, educational levels. The report concludes that lower educational quality may explain some but not all of the overall black-white differences noted earlier in the report. |
