Low‐Wage Youth Employment: A Permanent or Transitory State?

Author

Listed:
  • PAUL W. MILLER

Abstract

One of the striking features of the youth wage distribution in the extent to which an individual's relative position in the distribution changes between contiguous years. Formal modelling of these changes using a bivatiate probit model suggests that low‐wage employment should not, in general be viewed as a permanent state. Individuals in low‐wage jobs in adjacent years are characteried by u lack of human capital Accordingly. remedical action might be directed towards augmenting their skills through supplementary schooling or labour market training.
