Employment Opportunities of Young Men and Family Formation Proceedings, American Economic Association (May 1989): 62-66 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Economic Association Keyword(s): Family Formation; Labor Force Participation; Marital Disruption; Marital Status Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines the issue of male joblessness and its relationship to family formation, particularly the recent growth of black female-headed families. Using data from the NLSY, the author tested the effects of local labor market unemployment rates and young men's previous job experience on the likelihood that they would remain childless, become absent fathers, or become fathers living with their children. It was found that neither the measure of local labor market conditions nor prior joblessness of the young men studied affected fatherhood outcomes. |
