Racial Differentials in Returns to Human Capital Investments: Further Evidence from the Longitudinal Surveys Mimeo, Institute for Research on Poverty, University of Wisconsin - Madison, 1974 Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP), University of Wisconsin - Madison Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Human Capital Theory; Job Tenure; Occupational Attainment; Racial Differences; Vocational Training; Work Experience Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The author analyzes the impact of formal schooling and vocational training on alternative measures of labor market success for men. The results agree with Freeman and Flanagan that during the period between 1966-1969, occupational advancement is significantly related to formal education for whites; for blacks, post school vocational training and firm specific experience lead to greater advancement. For both racial groups, the advancement is greater among young men; but, for neither age cohort is occupational segregation sufficiently strong to negate the advancement of black men. |
