Sources of regional variation in youth employment
Abstract This paper uses state data for the late 1970's in a regression model to assess the relative importance of several hypotheses that have been advanced to explain the significant relative deterioration in youth employment opportunities. The paper also attempts to evaluate the nature and importance of regional differences with respect to the variables that are associated with youth employment opportunities. In particular the paper focuses on the effects of minimum wages and efforts to alter wages by unions, the expanded youth population and the changing labor force participation of females, differences in labor market tightness, expenditures on job training, schooling decisions on the part of young people and the general influence of poverty. Drawing on the empirical evidence, the authors conclude that a policy of regional minimum wages might result in a ten to twenty percent expansion in youth employment and achieving full employment for adult males might have an approximately equal effect.
