Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research
Keyword(s): College Education; Discrimination, Age; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; High School; Job Aspirations; Job Search; Schooling; Teenagers; Vocational Education; Work Attitudes; Youth Services

The report is the first on a nationally representative sample of young people who were ages 14 to 21 on December 31, 1978. It is a descriptive presentation of the status of youth in the spring of 1979--their position and problems in the labor market; their reactions to school and the factors influencing their schooling decisions; their training, both the government sponsored and other vocational training which they receive; their health status; and their attitudes, both towards their present situations and the future. Eleven additional chapters define topics on labor force participation and employment status of the youth for the week in which they were interviewed in 1979; examine the employment conditions for those youth who were employed at the time of the survey; present the work experience of the youth for the preceding year, 1978, and analyze the determinants of weeks worked and unemployed during the year; discuss job search motives and techniques of youth and their willingness to accept specific jobs at various wages; study the attitudes of young people toward high school, its programs, and their reasons for not completing school or for attending college; examines participants in government sponsored training programs, the types of services received, and their attitudes toward these programs; deal with the post-high school training provided outside of regular schools, government programs, and the military; study the health status of young people at the time they were interviewed; detail the extend of age, race, sex discrimination felt by young people as well as their perception of the difficulties they have in the labor market; examine the educational, occupational, and fertility aspirations of the young people and their desire for further training; and present a summary of the major findings.

This is the first report on a nationally representative sample of the 32.9 million civilian young people who were ages 14-21 on January 1, 1979. This first survey shows that young Americans are very much interested in work; more than half of these young persons were either working or looking for work. Many young persons carry both school and work responsibilities. Race and sex discrimination in the labor market continued to cause problems for youth. Minorities had equal aspirations for education, were more willing to work, and were seeking employment as conscientiously as white youth. The difference appeared to be that employers discounted their contribution as employees because of their race or ethnic background. Many young persons drop out of school and begin immediately to have employment problems. About 2.6 million young men and women had participated in government training programs between the first day of 1978 and their interview date in 1979. In this report further details are provided about the employment and unemployment status of these young persons, their reactions to school, their assessment of Federal Government training programs, their vocational training, their attitudes toward work and their aspirations and expectations for the future.

Perceived Utility of Job Training Methods Among Young Men
Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1983
Cohort(s): Young Men
Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research
Keyword(s): Job Skills; Job Training; Racial Differences; Schooling, Post-secondary; Training, Post-School

The NLS Young Men's cohort respondents interviewed in 1980 reinforced the findings from the mid-1960s that on-the- job training is by far the most common way of acquiring job skills. The earlier study of all labor force participants age 22-64 found that 37 percent of those with less than three years of college reported OJT as the most helpful method of acquiring job skills. Race was an important factor throughout this study. Rates of use of training differed strongly by race and were unaffected by introducing controls for level of education and type of job held.

CPS-NLS Differences in Labor Force Characteristics of Youth: Another Look
Proceedings, Business and Economic Statistics Section, American Statistical Association (1981): 122-125
Cohort(s): NLSY79
Publisher: American Statistical Association
Keyword(s): Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Research Methodology; Unemployment, Youth

CPS estimates of the size of the youth labor force continue to differ from estimates derived from other data sources. Analysis of the 1979 NLSY data indicated more extensive attachment to the labor force by youth 16-21 than corresponding CPS estimates. These differences have been attributable in the past largely to differences in reporting unit (proxy versus self-respondent). However, a recent study by the Methods Division of the Bureau of the Census revealed only minor differences by respondent type. This study examines other factors such as type of interview, rotation bias and characteristic of jobs that could explain these differences. The data analyzed come from the March 1979 CPS and 1979 NLSY surveys.

Keyword(s): High School; Hispanic Youth; Hispanics; Unemployment

In 1979, nearly a million Hispanic youth age 16-21 are in the labor force in the NLS survey week; approximately 720,000 are employed, 218,000 are unemployed, and 578,000 are neither looking for nor holding jobs. Hispanic youth represent 5.1 percent of the employed youth, 6.5 percent of the unemployed youth, and 8.1 percent of those outside the labor force. Hispanics occupy an intermediate employment status relative to blacks and whites.

Keyword(s): Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Dropouts; High School; Hispanics; Unemployment, Youth; Wages, Reservation

The Current Population Survey (CPS) provides valuable data on the overall employment status of youth and, once a year, on school enrollment status. The 1979 NLSY also provides this type of employment status data and showed extensive labor force activity during the spring of 1979 among youth aged 16-21. Youth were engaged actively in both school and work responsibilities. The NLSY also contains data permitting a more detailed examination of employment issues, not possible with the CPS. Examples of the research that could be done with the NLS presented in this article include further employment status comparison by Hispanic groups and analysis of unemployment by occupations and reservation wages sought.

Measuring the Employment Status of Youth: A Comparison of the Current Population Survey and the National Longitudinal Survey

(Editor's note: Published in the IRRA Proceedings (1981): 62-68). The most plausible explanation of the differences in unemployment estimates between the surveys appear to be that the NLSY directly interviews the youth, while the CPS relies on the head of the household or some other responsible adult. The largest differentials occurred among the younger youths and those in school. It is this younger group whose parents may know the least about their job-search activities and their desire to participate in the labor force. For example, a youth may have sought baby-sitting jobs, lawn mowing, or part-time work at a fast food restaurant without the knowledge of the parents. It is this group which is least likely to report for themselves in the CPS and also most likely to be living in their parents' household.

Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher.

Data from a Hispanic civilian subsample of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N = 849 US-born & 312 foreign-born Mexican Americans ages 14-21) are drawn on to investigate how aggregate socioeconomic indicators for this population vary by birthplace. Analysis indicates that, depending on the indicator, problems are often compounded for foreign-born youth, though the unfavorable status of Mexican Americans is not exclusive to the foreign-born. Indeed, 20% of the US-born youth fail to complete high school, 25% are unemployed, & 20% live in a poverty-income household. Implications of these socioeconomic differences for researchers & policy makers are discussed, & it is suggested that the effects of gender also be investigated. 2 Tables, 15 References.

Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher.

Selected studies based on the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth Labor Market Experiences (NLS) and the High School and Beyond Surveys (HS&B) offer both consistent and conflicting findings about the experience of Hispanics in school and work. Non-high school completion, college attendance, and the link between education and economic gains varied by the sample selected, gender and ethnic group, and model specification. Methodological complexities prevent a meaningful synthesis of the findings. This paper focuses on these research complexities in an attempt to translate the findings into policy statements that could improve Hispanics' school-to-work experience.
