Education and Personal Earnings Determination: A Synthetic Approach

Abstract

dc:description

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of education on personal earnings in the U.S., taking into consideration a number of mediating labor market and social stratification variables. Two effects of education are posited. The first, the "allocation effect," refers to the role that education plays in enabling people to obtain better-paying jobs. The second, the "earnings effect," concerns the way education affects earnings after a job is obtained.
