Youth Employment Effects During School Years and Analysis of Their Household Characteristics M.A. Thesis, University of Nevada - Reno, 2007 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Allowance, Pocket Money; Employment, In-School; Employment, Part-Time; Employment, Youth; Household Composition; Household Income; Income; Labor Force Participation; Transfers, Parental Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The most common sources of income for youths are earnings by working in the labor market and allowances from parents, grandparents, and so on. Typically, the jobs that are available for youths are in highly routine service sectors with low pay, no benefits, minimum skill requirements, and little time off. Work is probably the most common out-of-school activity among youths, although the idea that youths obtain income from earnings by working in the labor market is controversial due to the obstacle of their school work or involvement in delinquency. Compared with adult workers, most employed youths live with their parents and are financially dependent on them. Therefore, the household characteristics and resources as a whole highly influence the youth labor force participation and are important factors in understanding youth employment behavior. According to this study by analyzing the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97), it is observed that youths from high income households are more employed than youths from low income households. |
