Capacities, Opportunities and Educational Investments: The Case of the High School Dropout Review of Economics and Statistics 61,1 (February 1979): 9-20. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1924826 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: MIT Press Keyword(s): Dropouts; High School Curriculum; I.Q.; Parental Influences; Siblings The matter of dropping out becomes a social problem when the consequences of leaving high school early begin to impinge seriously on others, or when dropping out results from incomplete information--e.g., on income, employment or other prospects--which was available but not known to the student or when dropping out reflects inequality of educational opportunity. The external diseconomies from dropping out most frequently mentioned and measured are the social costs of the increased unemployment of the dropout and the resulting loss if taxable earnings or national output. Of course, there may be other social costs, some of which were mentioned in the introduction to this paper. But the extent of the relationship between dropping out and increased crime and drug usage, for example, is not well known. Nevertheless, by examining later waves of this cohort, it is possible to analyze the activities and labor market achievement of the dropouts subsequent to their leaving high school.

Racial Discrimination and the Collective Bargaining Coverage of Male Youths Working Paper in Human Resources, College of Business Administration, University of South Carolina, 1978 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: School of Business (Moore), University of South Carolina Keyword(s): Collective Bargaining; Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Unions; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper utilizes data from the l969 wave of the NLS of Young Men; the sample includes 1,472 individuals, of whom 982 are white. Union members are shown to have a distinct wage advantage over comparable workers who are not union members. Nonwhite youths were found to benefit less from union membership and, in fact, the results suggest that unions discriminate against nonwhites: the racial differential in earnings is considerably greater among union members than among comparable nonmembers. |
