abstract: 'We estimate the effect that dropping out of high school has on 8
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes pertaining to wages, employment and subsequent skill
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
acquisition for youths. Our analysis is based on the older cohort of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Youth in Transition Survey (YITS) for 2003, an ideal data set because it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contains a rich array of outcome measures and characteristics on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individuals when they are in high school and a few years later. Our
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analysis indicates that dropouts have poorer wage and employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes, and they do not make up for their lack of education through
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
additional skill acquisition and training. The analysis thereby suggests
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that policies to curb dropping out could have both desirable efficiency
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects (high returns) as well as distributional effects (high returns
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to otherwise more disadvantaged groups) and potential social spillover
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects.'
