FRANTZ, ROGER SCOTT Attitudes and Work Performance Among Young Men During the Transition from School to Work American Economist 26,1 (Spring 1982): 43-50 Cohort(s): Young Men ID Number: 697 Publisher: Omicron Delta Phi Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study attempts to build on earlier ones utilizing longitudinal survey data by assuming that labor market performance and attitude changes during work are simultaneously determined. That is, attitudes which affect work performance are simultaneously affected by them, as well as by non-work experience. A model is designed to estimate these relationships for young men who are experiencing their initial full-time contract with the labor market, which investigates how attitudes affect labor market performance during the transition from school to the world of work. Taken together the results indicate that internal-external attitudes have substantial effects on subsequent labor market performance and that they are responsive to work. Furthermore the data supports the hypothesis that economic progress among blacks can be enhanced through the development of internal attitudes among blacks. This development, in turn, is seen as dependent upon increasing the mobility of blacks which would assure them of greater wage gains with the aging process. Finally the "phase transition" seen occurring between the ages of 21 and 24 would seem to show that $1 spent on "mental health" at age 21 may be as productive as many more dollars spent at age 25. STEEN, TODD P. An Analysis of Secondary Child Care Arrangements American Economist 38,1 (Spring 1994): 82-91 Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 2307 Publisher: Omicron Delta Phi Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A study suggests that the use of secondary child care reflects parents' efforts to enhance the quality of care. Data were drawn from the 1986 and 1988 National Longitudinal Survey Youth Cohort, the June 1982 Current Population Survey, and the 1984-85 Survey of Income and Program Participation. Logit estimates show that mothers with older children and mothers with higher wages are more likely to use a secondary care arrangement. Results also indicate that secondary care is used more often by whites and by more educated mothers. The findings suggest that the use of secondary child care does not stem from a lack of adequate and flexible primary sources of care. Instead, secondary care may be used to better suit the needs of both parents and child. Search returned 2 items. Search Start: 17:43:55 Search Finish: 17:43:55
