Summary In: Years for Decision, Volume 2, Manpower Research Monograph 24. Washington DC: U.S. GPO, 1977 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office Keyword(s): Educational Aspirations/Expectations; Mobility; Schooling; Wages; Work Knowledge; World of Work Test Most of the young women in the study who were enrolled in school in 1968 were also enrolled in 1969. Approximately 30 percent of those enrolled both years had revised their educational goals from 1968 to 1969. Wage changes from 1968 to 1969 were more favorable to whites (and/or those who changed employers) than blacks (and/or those who kept the same job). The consequences of geographic mobility remained unclear, and although those who moved were more likely to be employed, they were also more likely to report a lower increase in rate of pay. 'Knowledge of the world of work' shows a strong positive relationship to educational attainment and scores on mental ability tests, although the intercolor variation persists. |
