Income Expectations and the Decision to Enter Higher Education.

Bosworth, Derek; Ford, Janet

Studies in Higher Education, v10 n1 p21-31 1985

A study of income flow patterns and individual decisions to undertake college-level study suggests that perceived income and other labor market prospects influence student decisions but vary with age and discipline. Although females perceive lower income, that lower income does not statistically affect the decision to attend college. (MSE)
