Labor Force and Employment Status of Students In: Years for Decision, Volume 1, Manpower Research Monograph 24. Washington DC: U.S. GPO, 1971 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Labor Force Participation; Unemployment; Urbanization/Urban Living A study of young women aged 14-24 enrolled in school in 1968 showed that about one-third of the eight million students in this age category participated in the labor force during the survey week. Grade in school, socioeconomic status of family, number of weeks worked during 1967, urban background, and age positively relate to participation rates among high school students (age 14-17). Black high school young women tend less than their white counterparts to be in the labor force, but this difference narrows with age. College age young women (18- 24) who are graduate students, had fathers in professional occupations, come from large cities, or were employed for at least 26 weeks in 1967 showed higher participation rates than those not having these characteristics. Data indicate unemployment is higher among black young women and suggest that the dissemination of labor market information to all enrolled female students could be much improved. |
