A Tale of Two Cohorts: Educational Differentials in Labor Market Outcomes Cumulated over the Early Life Course Presented: Atlanta GA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2022 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Income; Labor Market Outcomes; Unions; Work Histories; Work Hours/Schedule Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Literature highlights increasingly prolonged and uncertain processes of transition to adulthood and particularly increased challenge in making transition to stable and regular work, in the context of rising economic inequality and restructuring. Following two NLS cohorts who entered the labor market in 1980s and 2000s, respectively, we compare four key labor market outcomes -- annual income, work hours, numbers of transitions in and out of the labor force, and years covered by union, cumulated between ages 22 and 35. We focus on differences in cumulative outcomes between the more- and less-educated and how the educational gaps differ between two cohorts. The younger cohort, both men and women, cumulates less income, works more hours, has more frequent in/out of the labor force, and has less years covered by union than their older counterpart. Educational gaps are mostly similar between two cohorts or slightly smaller for the younger than older cohort. |

Intergenerational Educational Mobility and Life Course Income Trajectories in the United States Presented: Austin TX, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2019 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Income; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Life Course; Mobility; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Motivated by a theoretical perspective of the cumulative advantage, we examine intergenerational educational mobility and its consequences for life-course income trajectories. Instead of focusing on the overall educational association between two generations, we classify respondents into four distinctive groups depending on whether their parents and they had college education, respectively: upward and downward mobile, immobile in college and in non-college levels. Then, we link intergenerational educational mobility into life-course income trajectories by comparing how four mobility groups differ in their evolution of income from the age 25 to 50. We apply growth models to two longitudinal data (PSID and NLSY79) of black and white men and women. Preliminary results indicate that educational reproduction is the dominant pattern. Moreover, income trajectories of the four mobility groups have evolved differently over time, resulting in widening inequality over the life course among the groups. Intergenerational educational mobility bears important consequences for income trajectories. |

Intergenerational Educational Mobility and Life-Course Income Trajectories in the United States Social Forces published online (22 January 2021): DOI: 10.1093/sf/soaa125.

Atheoretical formulation derived from the cumulative advantage literature, that intergenerational educational mobility has enduring life-course income effects above and beyond individuals' education, is empirically tested. This formulation contrasts sharply with both the human capital model, which does not consider parental education as a determinant of children's income, and the sociological research on social mobility, which mostly relies on a snapshot view to study the economic consequences of educational mobility. To test this theory, we use NLSY79 survey data (with Panel Study of Income Dynamics data serving for robustness checks). We apply growth models to the data to estimate if and how the different intergenerational educational mobility groups that are produced by the intersection of parental and respondent education shape life-course income trajectories. Results provide evidence in support of the argument that the intersection of parental and respondent education bears important long-term income consequences, mainly for men. These results, moreover, do not vary by race. We discuss the theoretical and policy implications of our results. |
