Trends Over Time in the High School Dropouts Proceedings of American Society of Business and Behavioral Sciences (ASBBS) 18,1 (February, 2011): 928-944.

Over the last three decades, the high school dropout rate declined and the high school completion rate increased. This study identifies causes for the decline in the dropout rate over the periods using decomposition analysis. Traditional cross-section analysis was inadequate to perform this task. Using the two cohort surveys of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) in the 1980s and 2000s, we separated changes in characteristics into two parts: explained change and unexplained change. Results of the research suggest that the common explanations for the characteristic of school dropout account for little of the decline of the rate. Relatively unnoticeable factors such as location and regions contributed to the decline of the dropout rate while socioeconomic, personal, familial factors contributed to increase the dropout rate. |
