本文使用苏格兰离校生调查的数据来研究失业率上升对学生逃学水平的影响。在全国失业人数急剧上升的时期，四年级学生的逃学率下降了。在失业率较高的地区，学生的逃学率也较低。尽管有一些保留意见，但数据表明，失业率上升增加了学生的积极性，从而成为学校和劳动力市场的社会控制工具;数据对目前声称失业对学生产生消极影响和士气低落的论点提出了质疑。
This paper uses data from the Scottish School Leavers Surveys to examine the influence of rising unemployment rates on levels of truancy among school pupils. Rates of truancy among fourth‐year pupils declined over a period when national unemployment figures were rising sharply. Truancy rates were also lower among pupils in areas of higher unemployment. Subject to some reservations, the data suggest that rising unemployment increases pupil motivation and thereby acts as an instrument of social control in schools as well as in the labour market; less equivocally, the data challenge current arguments alleging the demotivating and demoralising effect of unemployment on school pupils.
