Increased Resources or Incompatible Roles?: Union Status and College Completion Among Young Adults in the United States Presented: Washington DC, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, March-April 2016 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): College Education; College Enrollment; Marital Status; Modeling, Hazard/Event History/Survival/Duration Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Despite increases of the overall educational attainment, educational disparity has not been reduced. A number of studies have identified contributing factors for education attainment; however, limited research is available on how union status is associated with college completion. Given dramatic changes in union status among young adults in the last a few decades, this study explores influences of union status on college completion among those who ever enrolled a college. Using data from 15 rounds of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 Cohorts with Post-secondary Transcript Study Files (N=6,313), discrete proportional hazard models were estimated. Results indicated that union is not always beneficial to completing a college degree, and this association also varies by types of degree pursued (2-yr vs. 4-yr). The findings of this study inform roles of union in attaining a higher education and offer implications for potential consequences for labor market and health outcomes during adulthood. |
