Labor Force Participation and the Probability of Completing College Proceedings, Business and Economic Statistics Section, American Statistical Association, Part_II (1977): 638-643 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: American Statistical Association Keyword(s): College Dropouts; College Education; Employment; Socioeconomic Status (SES) This study focuses on the educational progress of youth enrolled in undergraduate college in l968-l969 and l969- 1970. The author examines the interrelationship between work and the successful completion of each of the four school years. Higher completion rates are found among students who do not work. These differences are significant in all class years for young men but only significant for the young women in the first two years. The ability of the student and his family's socioeconomic status are important factors in the early years of college but decline in importance with progress toward graduation. |
