Wage Growth Rates of Young Men: A Longitudinal Analysis Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1983 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Earnings; Educational Attainment; Employment; Occupations, Male This study investigates the determinants of individual wage growth, focusing on the dynamic nature of wage growth. The data come from the Young Men's cohort of the NLS (1969-1978). The analysis reveals that for whites the major determinants of wage growth are, in descending order of importance, the level of initial wage, educational attainment, union participation, and the receipt of the company, military, and/or school training. Among blacks, the important factors are the level of initial wage, union participation, educational attainment, and change in labor force size. The study also compares the determinants of wage growth between white and black males. Decomposition analysis shows that the prediction of higher wage growth for whites than for blacks is primarily attributable to a significantly higher initial wage for whites than for blacks. It also suggests that, had they been treated the same as whites, their wage growth would have been about five percent higher than it actually was. |
