Young men and the transition to stable employment.
The transition from school to work among male high school students is more heterogeneous and successful than is normally assumed. Using data on young men from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to estimate the distribution of their ages at entrance into jobs lasting various lengths of time,...

Using data on young men from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to estimate the distribution of their ages at entrance into jobs lasting various lengths of time, researchers found that by age 20 half of all graduates have jobs that will last more than two years and that by age 22 half have jobs that will last more than three years. This refutes the widely held belief that young males flounder from one short-term job to another until their mid-twenties. There is, however, a significant difference between and within the school-leaving groups examined. Although the foregoing characterization holds for the median male high school graduate, those in the 75th percentile did not reach a job with one, two, or three years of tenure until the ages of 20, 23, and 25, respectively. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
