Secondary Labor Market's Effect on the Work-Related Attitudes of Youths Industrial Relations Research Association Series, Proceedings Thirty-Second Annual Meeting (1980): 242-250 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Industrial Relations Research Association ==> LERA Keyword(s): Duncan Index; Labor Market, Secondary; Occupational Attainment; Unemployment, Youth; Work Attitudes; Work History Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of early labor market experiences on the work attitudes of youth, particularly the extent to which secondary labor market or "bad" jobs shape youths' attitudes in an antiwork direction. More specifically, the key interest is in ascertaining what happens to the work attitudes of youths who are comparable on the basis of initial attitudes, pre-labor market background, and human capital characteristics, but who subsequently differed in terms of weeks of unemployment, weeks worked, earnings, occupational assignments, and occupational advancement. Thus, the principal concern of this study is not whether the "unrealistic" attitudes of youths become tempered by the oftentimes harsh realities of the world of work. More importantly, the concern is for whether youths' attitudes which can not be deemed as unrealistic also are shaped in an antiwork direction because of the realities of the labor market, particularly labor market segmentation which may irreversibly misallocate youths during the early stages of career formation. |
