Job Characteristics and the Labor Force Participation Behavior of Black and White Male Youth Review of Black Political Economy 18,2 (Fall 1989): 5-24. Also: http://www.springerlink.com/content/d81727155129280w/fulltext.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Economic Association Keyword(s): Labor Force Participation; Racial Differences; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Wages, Reservation Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Previous work regarding the labor force participation of black and white youth has ignored the fact that they may face jobs with different characteristics, such as socioeconomic status or degree of danger. This article examines the effects that such characteristics have on the probability of participation for a sample of black and white males from the National Longitudinal Survey Youth Cohort. The results suggest that some job characteristics have a significant impact on participation, particularly socioeconomic status. The estimates presented here suggest, however, that racial differences in socioeconomic status probably explain only a small portion of the black-white male youth participation rate differential. |
