我们使用一个动态的、顺序的离散选择框架来检验早期就业活动与美国年轻女性继续学业决策之间的经验关系，该框架联合估计学校教育、劳动力供应和生育决策，控制这些生命周期决策的未观察到的异质性和内生性。随着工作强度的增加，辍学率也在增加，这有助于解释西班牙裔女孩中学辍学率较高和年轻黑人女性大学辍学率较高的原因。令人不安的暗示是，青年就业导致早期辍学者的长期工资停滞，并可能加剧种族和民族不平等。
We examine the empirical relationship between early employment activity and school continuation decisions for young American women using a dynamic, sequential discrete-choice framework that estimates schooling, labor supply, and birth decisions jointly, controlling for unobserved heterogeneity and the endogeneity of these life cycle decisions. That the rate of school withdrawal increases as work intensity rises helps explain the higher departure rates of Hispanic girls from secondary school and the premature departure of young black women from college. The disturbing implication is that youth employment induces long-run wage stagnation for early school leavers and potentially increases race and ethnic inequities.
