Schooling Interruption, Work While in School and the Returns from Schooling

A chapter in Unemployment, 1981, pp 163-175 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Recent suggestions for expanding the work experiences of school age youth make sense only if such experiences are in fact valuable or can be had at little real cost. These issues are explored using data from the Young Men NLS, focusing on the effects of school interruption and of work while in school on subsequent wage rates. While the interpretation of the results is clouded by self-selection problems, there is no evidence in the data that interruptions or work while in school lead to any negative effects. Expanding work opportunities for the young is unlikely to detract from their future academic and economic achievement.
