Policy Findings Related to Military Service from the Youth Cohort of the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience Working Paper, Defense Manpower Data Center, U.S. Department of Defense, Arlington VA, 1985 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Defense Keyword(s): All-Volunteer Force (AVF); Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB); Military Enlistment; Military Recruitment; Military Service; Training, Occupational This report summarizes a briefing given on October 21, 1982, from the military portion of the NLSY presented to the Manpower Research and Department Planning Committee of the Office of Naval Research given by Michael E. Borus and Choongsoo Kim of The Ohio State University Center for Human Resource Research. Several findings with policy implications arise from the analysis. The All-Volunteer Force has been successful in attracting able young people, particularly from among minorities. The desire for occupational training is a major factor associated with enlistment among white men. While men in the service were more likely to be married, marriage seemed to increase reenlistment intentions among men and decrease them among women. Those young people with higher educational aspirations were more likely to enlist, implying that both in-service and post-service educational benefits may be an aid to recruitment. |
