“…The pathways that American students take from high school to the completion of a college degree are punctuated by necessary transitions (Carbonaro et al 2011;Goldrick-Rab 2006;Mare 1981;Pallas 2003). In the United States, many youth are not eligible to become college students because they have not earned a high school diploma or completed a GED.…”

The Black Gender Gap in Educational Attainment: Historical Trends and Racial Comparisons

et al. 2011

It is often asserted that the gender gap in educational attainment is larger for blacks than whites, but historical trends comparing the black and white gender gap have received surprisingly little attention. Analysis of historical data from the U.S. census IPUMS samples shows that the gender gap in college completion has evolved differently for whites and blacks. Historically, the female advantage in educational attainment among blacks is linked to more favorable labor market opportunities and stronger incentives for employment for educated black women. Blacks, particularly black males, still lag far behind whites in their rates of college completion, but the striking educational gains of white women have caused the racial patterns of gender differences in college completion rates to grow more similar over time. While some have linked the disadvantaged position of black males to their high risk of incarceration, our estimates suggest that incarceration has a relatively small impact on the black gender gap and the racial gap in college completion rates for males in the United States.

“…Patterns and opportunities in education and work, however, are also changing dramatically, and often differentially for men and women, as work life becomes increasingly ''contingent'' and as educational experiences become increasingly intertwined with family and work roles (for comprehensive reviews, see Heinz 2003b;Pallas 2003). It is important to recognize, however, that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in most countries will generally have fewer opportunities in education and work than those from more privileged backgrounds.…”

This article explores how demographic change has altered the terrain of early adult life. It considers some new and possible hallmarks of this period of life; some of the psychological capacities and social skills that may serve young people well in a variety of contexts; and the role of families and welfare states as sources of developmental exploration or drift, resilience or risk. The article points to the early adult years as a critical juncture for understanding the accumulation of advantage and disadvantage over the life course, and it shows how a stronger partnership between demography and human development offers promising new avenues for generating innovative theories and research on the transition to adulthood.
