The Youth Labor Market in the 80's: Determinants of Re-employment Probabilities for Young Men and Women
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an analysis of the determinants of re-employment probabilities for young workers in the U.S. Using data from the new National Longitudinal Survey youth cohort a model is developed to analyze the transition probabilities from nonemployraent to employment. The key factors examined include personal characteristics, unemployment income, local demand conditions, and duration dependence. There are signficant differences between the labor market experiences of whites and nonwhites, and males and females. High school dropouts have many more difficulties in the labor market than those who remain in school longer and/or receive other types of training. Local demand conditions are a strong determinant of the duration of spells of nonemployment and there appears to be strong evidence of negative duration dependence in re-employment probabilities for both young males and young females.
