Martin, Michael J.; Kitchel, Tracy J. – Journal of Research in Technical Careers, 2020
Agricultural education programs are experiencing pressure to change from a variety of educational and societal influences. This pressure is not new to agricultural education programs.

Malamud, Ofer; Wozniak, Abigail – Journal of Human Resources, 2012
We examine the causal effect of education on migration using variation in college attainment due to draft-avoidance behavior during the Vietnam War. We use national and state-level induction risk to identify both college attainment and veteran status for men observed in the 1980 Census. 2SLS estimates imply that additional years of college…

Gurak, Douglas T.; Kritz, Mary M. – Social Forces, 2000
Analysis of the 1990 Public Use Microdata Sample indicates that interstate migration during 1985-90 was less common for immigrant men than for non-Hispanic, White, native-born men. This difference was most strongly related to human capital factors (age, education, self-employment), followed by social capital factors (nativity group concentration)…

Significant regional differences in the proportion of white male and female children in the 19th century in different areas of the United States may be attributable to the economy. Boys were more numerous than girls in the South and along the frontier, while the ratio was more equal or in favor of girls in the eastern states. Data were obtained…

Goldstone, Seymour; Schiffel, Dennis – 1971
The report presents the results of a study which indicate that demographic comparisons of labor force participation rates are most fruitfully made on the basis of sex, age, educational attainment, presence of small children, race, and marital status. Also that the most important demographic comparisons of groups employment (unemployment) rates are…

Tienda, Marta; Wilson, Franklin D. – American Sociological Review, 1992
Investigates the relationship between geographic mobility and earnings of Hispanic-American and white men using the 1980 Public Use Sample from the U.S. Census. Economic returns to migration are negligible for both Hispanic-American men and white men. Among Hispanic Americans, the earnings determination process is roughly similar for movers and…

A study of women in migration in Third World countries since 1960 reveals that, contrary to assumptions, more women are migrating autonomously from rural to urban areas in an often unsuccessful effort to improve their economic status. The results of the study of migration patterns in Africa, Asia, Central America, South America, and the Middle…
