摘要

这项研究试图考察加纳青年就业结果在多大程度上受到其个人和家庭特征以及父母教育状况的影响。这项研究使用了250名年轻人的样本，包括在职和失业青年。使用具有边际效应的probit估计来确定这些个人和家庭特征如何影响就业结果。结果表明，个人和家庭特征影响就业结果。我们将父母的教育背景划分为高地位和低地位。Blinder Oaxaca分解表明，父母教育程度高的年轻人和父母教育程度低的年轻人之间的就业差距在很大程度上受到年轻人个人和其他家庭特征的差异的影响，而不是父母教育程度的差异。

A Decomposition and Counterfactual Analysis of the Effect of Parents' Educational Status on Youth Employment Outcomes

This study sought to examine the extent to which youth employment outcomes in Ghana are influenced by their individual and family characteristics on the one hand and parents' educational status on the other. A sample size of 250 youths, both employed and unemployed, was used for the study. A probit estimation with marginal effects was used to determine how these individuals and family characteristics influence employment outcomes. The results showed that individual and family characteristics influence employment outcomes. We disentangle educational background of parents and group them into high and low status. A Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition shows that the employment gap between youths with parents of high educational status and those with parents of low educational status is largely influenced by the differences in the individual and other family characteristics of the youths rather than differences in parents' educational status.
