Relationship Between the Structure of the Labor Market and Demand for Education by Young Black and White Males Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Massachusetts, 1977. Also: http://www.cceerc.net/ICPSR/biblio/series/129/resources/2778?sortBy=1&paging.startRow=1&publicationYear=1977 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Earnings; Educational Attainment; Educational Returns; Family Resources; High School; High School Curriculum; I.Q.; Socioeconomic Status (SES) The difference in educational attainment between young black and white males is largely due to the difference in the returns from education between them. The maintained hypotheses of this study are: (1) there exists a low educational-level trap against young black males at one-to-three years of college education where the present value of marginal returns from additional education is negative; (2) young black males who are intellectually as capable as young white males are discouraged from attaining beyond four years of high school education because of the trap; (3) their educational attainment does not increase even when their family income increases until it reaches a certain high level; (4) differences in taste and preferences for education between black and white males varies by the local labor market. |
