Heterogeneous Effects of Higher Education on Civic Participation: A Research Note On-Line Working Paper Series CCPR-2009-021, California Center for Population Research at UCLA, September 2009 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: California Center for Population Research (CCPR) Keyword(s): College Education; College Graduates; Disadvantaged, Economically; Education; Volunteer Work Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. American educational leaders and philosophers have long valued schooling for its role in preparing the nation's youth to be civically engaged citizens. Numerous studies have found a positive relationship between education and subsequent civic participation. However, little is known about possible variation in effects by selection into higher education. With data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, I examine effects of college completion on civic participation by propensity score strata using an innovative hierarchical linear model. I find evidence for significant heterogeneity of effects: the effect of college completion on civic participation is greatest among college graduates from disadvantaged social backgrounds with a low propensity for college. The effect of college on participation decreases as the propensity for college increases. |

Cohabiting and Marriage Formation During Young Men's Career Development Process On-Line Working Paper Series: CCPR-004-02 , California Center for Population Research, University of California - Los Angeles, September 2002. Also: http://escholarship.org/uc/item/85d3283r Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: California Center for Population Research (CCPR) Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Cohabitation; Event History; Male Sample; Marriage Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Revised version of a paper presented at the 2001 PAA annual meetings. Using recently released cohabitation data for NLSY79 males, this study conducts multinomial discrete-time event history-analyses of how young men's career development process affects both the formation and dissolution of cohabiting unions. For a substantial proportion of young men, cohabitation seems to represent an adaptive strategy during a period of career immaturity, as measured by employment instability, while marriage was a far more likely outcome for both stably employed cohabitors and noncohabitors alike. Earnings positively affected the entry into either a cohabiting or marital union and exhibited a strong threshold effect. However, consistent with a selectivity argument, once cohabiting, earnings had little effect on the odds of marrying out of a cohabitation although higher earnings did discourage separations among whites. Men with better long-run socioeconomic prospects, i.e., the college educated, were far more likely to marry from either the noncohabiting or cohabiting state and this was particularly true for blacks. |
