Wage Mobility and Wage Inequality Among Young Workers Contemporary Policy Issues 11,4 (October 1993): 31-41. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1465-7287.1993.tb00399.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79, Young Men Publisher: Western Economic Association International Keyword(s): High School Completion/Graduates; Mobility; Psychological Effects; Wage Dynamics; Wages, Youth Data from the National Longitudinal Surveys are used to examine wage inequality and wage mobility within the wage distribution for young high school graduates during their early years in the labor market. The analysis constructs a new index that facilitates measuring mobility changes over time. The data indicate that no strong relationship exists between wage mobility and wage inequality for young workers. Controlling for time invariant differences between individuals also indicates that between the 1970s and the 1980s factors that impact mobility underwent very few changes. Using longitudinal data can possibly add another dimension to wage distribution discussions. The techniques used in the analysis illustrate the limitations of simply examining a time series of cross- sections. Incorporating longitudinal data into mobility analyses might yield important insight into wage distribution dynamics. (Copyright Western Economic Association 1993) |
