Why Does the Rate of Youth Labor Force Activity Differ Across Surveys? Presented: Arlie House, VA, Conference on Youth Joblessness and Employment, National Bureau of Economic Research, 1979 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Keyword(s): Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Longitudinal Surveys; NLS of H.S. Class of 1972; Research Methodology; Unemployment One prerequisite for analysis of the economic problem of youth is a set of sound estimates of the employment and labor force status of the young. Existing estimates of the extent of labor market involvement and the extent of work activity of the young based on the monthly Current Population Survey and from special longitudinal surveys of the young give strikingly different pictures of the labor market for young men. The purpose of this study is to answer these questions by providing a detailed quantitative analysis of the divergences between the rates of labor force activity for male youths indicated by these surveys. |
