This project will focus on two trends related to racial differences in economic well-being. The first is an evident retrogression, during the 1980s, in the historical narrowing of the black/white wage gap. The second is a long-term decline in black youth employment. Our aim in the wage project will be two-fold. The first, largely descriptive, goal is to compile an accurate portrait of the changing relative economic status of black men during the last two decades. This descriptive portrait will be comprehensive, illustrating the sensitivity of any evaluation to alternative concepts of income (i.e., total money income, market earnings) and samples (i.e., all male workers, all men). our descriptive work will also examine changes in the relative economic status within important sub-classes (schooling and experience). After documenting and comparing the changes that have taken place in the relative income status of these groups, the research will move into the second analytical phase. Our regression analysis will use the 1980 and 1990 Censuses and the' 1967-1992 CPS' to examine the determinants of weekly wages of black and white men. The second component of the project deals with a problem of much longer duration-declining black youth employment. This project will investigate trends in the employment for young black males compared to those for young whites. The research strategy relies on the analysis of combinations of large cross-sectional Census and CPS data files that span the 1940-1992 time frame. These surveys will be used to study the interrelated decisions of young men to attend school, have a job, be unemployed, or remain out of the labor force. The sets of explanatory variables explored will range from personal attributes of the individual and his family, the temporal and special characteristics of the labor markets in which he lives, and the influence of a range OF governmental policies and programs.

这个项目将关注两个与种族差异有关的趋势。 经济福祉。第一种是一种明显的倒退，在 20世纪80年代，黑人/白人工资差距历史性地缩小。这个 其次是黑人青年就业率的长期下降。 我们在工资项目中的目标将是双重的。第一个，主要是 描述性的，目标是汇编一幅准确的变化肖像 在过去的二十年里，黑人男性的相对经济地位。这 描述性肖像将是全面的，说明敏感性 对其他收入概念(即，货币总额)的任何评价 收入、市场收入)和样本(即所有男性工人、所有男性)。 我们的描述性工作还将考察相对经济 在重要的子类中的地位(学历和经验)。之后 记录和比较在 这些群体的相对收入状况，研究将进入 第二个分析阶段。我们的回归分析将使用1980年和 1990年人口普查和“1967-1992年CPS”，以检查 黑人和白人男性的周薪。 该项目的第二个组成部分处理的问题很多 持续时间更长--黑人青年就业率下降。这个项目将 调查年轻黑人男性的就业趋势 那些是给年轻白人的。研究策略依赖于对 大型横断面人口普查和CPS数据文件的组合 1940-1992年的时间范围。这些调查将被用来研究 年轻人相互关联的上学、工作等决定 失业，或留在劳动力大军之外。解释的集合 研究的变量范围从个人的个人属性 及其家庭劳动的时代性和特殊性 他所居住的市场，以及一系列政府部门的影响 政策和计划。
