Assessing School to Work Transitions in the United States NLS Discussion Paper No. 96-32, Washington DC: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 1995. Also: http://stats.bls.gov/ore/abstract/nl/nl950050.htm Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Data Quality/Consistency; Educational Status; Family Background and Culture; I.Q.; Schooling; Transition, School to Work The transition from school to work is very smooth for some youth and less smooth for others. Many factors influence the transition such as the level of education, the quality of schooling, intelligence, opportunities, and family background. This paper addresses several measurement issues related to the assessment of the school-to-work transition. To illustrate these issues, several existing findings from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) are discussed. Each finding relates to alternative measures or methods employed to assess the school-to-work transition in the U. S. Conclusions are drawn regarding the data necessary to support the assessment of the school-to-work transition, including a new survey beginning in the United States which attempts to meet these requirements. |
