Cohort Size and the Earnings Growth of Young Males Industrial and Labor Relations Review 37,4 (July 1984): 582-591. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2523674 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University Keyword(s): Career Patterns; College Graduates; Earnings; Educational Attainment; High School Completion/Graduates This paper examines the impact of cohort size on human capital investment decisions and age-earnings profiles. In general, larger cohorts appear to have slower earnings growth and flatter earnings profiles. Thus, the negative effect of cohort size on earnings levels found by other researchers not only persists as workers age but also increases. Increases in cohort size depress the earnings growth of college graduates more severely than lesser educated workers. These larger depressant effects combined with more rapid increases in cohort size for college graduates caused their earnings to grow more slowly than high school graduates during the seventies. |
