Education, Occupation, and Income: The Effects of Attending a Community College on the Labor Market Outcomes of Young Men and Women Ph.D. Dissertation, Brandeis University, 1982 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): College Education; Earnings; Educational Returns; Human Capital Theory; Labor Market Outcomes; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Research using data from the NLS of Young Men and Women to determine how the differentiation of higher education into sectors affects current socioeconomic status focuses on the ramifications of community college education. Socioeconomic returns to level and kind of education are analyzed using insights offered by human capital theory. An argument is made, however, that the significance of type of educational experience can only be adequately analyzed within a framework that allows for notions of power and conflict. Previous studies analyzing correlations between educational level and labor market outcomes virtually ignore the effects of community college attendance. Most studies focus on the value of a four-year B. A. degree, compared to a high school diploma. When fewer than four years of college are mentioned, all people with 1-3 years of college are lumped together regardless of whether they received a two- year degree or dropped out of a community or a four-year college. |
