Race, Ethnicity, and Attainment in the Early Career Report to the National Council of La Raza, U.S. Department of Labor, 1982 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Educational Returns; Ethnic Groups/Ethnicity; Hispanics; Occupational Attainment; Racial Differences; Teenagers Data from the 1979 NLSY are used to explore socioeconomic differentials in early career among Chicanos, blacks and whites. The attainment process appears to be more complex and disjointed for blacks than for whites or Chicanos. In fact, attainment for Chicanos seems to be less complex than for either blacks or whites and predicated primarily on merit and aspirations. Differences in the attainment process of the three groups are highlighted by the fact that blacks, although having more years of schooling, coming from better socioeconomic origins, and realizing greater income returns to their education than Chicanos, still earn less, on the average, and work at jobs comparable to those held by Chicanos. |

Race, Powerlessness and the Status Attainment Process: Evidence from the Sixties and Early Seventies Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Southern California, 1981 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Control; Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Education; Occupations; Schooling; Socioeconomic Status (SES) The intent of this dissertation is to examine interracial socioeconomic differentials and also to assess the influence of racial group membership on the status attainment process. In examining interracial socioeconomic differences, three strategies have been mapped. First, black-white differentials are examined in three areas of socioeconomic standing: education, occupation, and income. Second, an extended version of a Blau-Duncan (1967) model of the status attainment process is estimated across racial group boundaries. Extensions to the basic Blau-Duncan model include the following variables: items measuring the quality of school attended by a respondent; a social psychological variable, powerlessness, which reflects perceived control over one's life chances and which may adversely affect one's attainment; and finally, the attainment process over six points in time (1966 to 1971), which shows estimation of changes in the attainment experiences of the same cohort of men over time. Third, racial discrimination is addressed by seeking an answer to the following question: would interracial differences on selected measures of socioeconomic position persist if both blacks and whites were given the same profiles and white advantages? |
