Abstract

This paper explores how high school graduate men and women vary in their behavioral responses to beginning labor market entry during a recession. In contrast with previous related literature that found a substantial negative wage impact but minimal employment impact in samples of highly educated men, the empirical evidence presented here suggests a different outcome for the less well educated, and between the sexes. Women, but not men, who graduate high school in an adverse labor market are less likely to be in the workforce for the next four years, but longer-term effects are minimal. Further, while men increase their enrollment as a short-run response to weak labor demand, women do not; instead, they appear to temporarily substitute into home production. Women's wages are less affected then men's, and both groups' wages are less affected than the college graduates previously studied.

经济衰退中的高中毕业:工作、教育和家庭生产。
本文探讨了在经济衰退期间,高中毕业生男性和女性对开始进入劳动力市场的行为反应是如何不同的。先前的相关文献发现,在受过高等教育的男性样本中,工资受到了实质性的负面影响,但就业受到的影响很小。与此相反,本文提出的经验证据表明,受教育程度较低的男性和性别之间的结果不同。在不利的劳动力市场中高中毕业的女性,而不是男性,在接下来的四年里不太可能进入劳动力市场,但长期影响很小。此外,虽然男性增加入学人数是对劳动力需求疲软的短期反应,但女性却没有;相反,它们似乎暂时取代了家庭生产。女性的工资受到的影响比男性小,而且这两个群体的工资受到的影响都小于之前研究的大学毕业生。

期刊介绍: The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy welcomes submissions that employ microeconomics to analyze issues in business, consumer behavior, and public policy. We aim to be an international forum for scholarship, whether the scholarship considers an issue that is general or that pertains to a particular country or region, but authors should bear in mind that our readers come from around the world. Potential issues of interest include: the interaction of firms, the functioning of markets, the effects of domestic and international policy, and the design of organizations and institutions.
