Perspectives on Educational Attainment from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Behavior Research in Sociology of Education and Socialization 1 (1980): 161-188 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men, Young Men, Young Women Publisher: JAI Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; NLS Description; Parental Influences; Socioeconomic Status (SES) This paper discusses in general the four original NLS cohorts with particular emphasis on the applicability of these data sets for the study of the educational experiences of Americans. While indicating the difficulty of generalizing from numerous studies based on these data, the authors indicate that it appears clear that ability and parental socioeconomic status have a major impact on educational attainment, while some other significant factors can be more tentatively identified. In addition, the process of educational attainment appears basically similar for blacks and whites, and for males and females. |
