Components of average wage differentials in the youth labor market are examined using a wage decomposition method letting both race & gender vary, drawing on data from the 1984 National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience (total N = 3,483 employed whites & blacks ages 19-26). Issues also addressed. Findings indicate that bias in the youth labor market focuses more on gender than race. However, until researchers devise consistent methods of estimating the source, amount, & direction of discrimination, policymakers face difficulty devising procedures to correct discriminatory wage differences. 7 Tables, 23 References.
