Tracking Success: High School Curricula and Labor Market Outcomes by Race and Gender
Moller, Stephanie; Stearns, Elizabeth
Urban Education, v47 n6 p1025-1054 Nov 2012
Education researchers have established that educational tracking reinforces inequalities, but they have not fully examined the affect of these tracks on labor market outcomes for men and women of different races/ethnicities. At the same time, labor market researchers have studied the association between education and income by race and gender, but they do not distinguish among types of education. The researchers integrate these literatures by examining the relationship between educational tracking in secondary school and income in young adulthood, using data from the National Education Longitudinal Study. This study finds that educational tracking is associated with income, independent of the quantity of education. (Contains 4 tables, 2 figures, and 7 notes.)
