Pre-retirement Labor Market Effects of Woman's Post-School-Age Training Working Paper, Department of Economics, Pennsylvania State University - Mont Alto, 1991 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Department of Economics, The Pennsylvania State University Keyword(s): Education; Educational Returns; Labor Force Participation; Training; Unemployment Rate, Regional; Wages; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Many women acquire education and training after the usual schooling age. This study uses the 1984 NLS Mature Women's cohort to determine whether obtaining post-school-age education or training has an impact on women's labor force participation and wages during the pre-retirement years. The 1984 survey has an advantage in that the oldest of the women in the study were not yet eligible for retirement benefits. The study compares the labor force participation of women who acquired training later and those who did not, examining whether the women worked in 1984 and whether they had plans to work in the future. Results indicate that post-school-age training is associated with greater labor force participation during the pre-retirement years. In addition, during the years immediately preceding the usual retirement age, the wages of women who obtained later training rose at a faster rate than the wages of those women who did not. |
