| Abstract | This paper reports the problems arising out of, and the solution developed, in adapting dual labor market theory to the evaluation of a CETA youth employment demonstration project. The theory posits that some jobs operate within a primary labor market, and are characterized by good wages and benefits, job security and potential for within firm advancement, while other jobs operate within a secondary labor market and are deficient in those areas. The Career Advancement Voucher Demonstration Project was established to determine if two years of college would significantly improve the ability of these youth to enter the primary labor market. Several problems encountered in adapting the theory to program evaluation are discussed. In operationalizing the concepts, the theory was deficient for some industries, and it is hypothesized that a second type labor market - an occupation-centered market - is superimposed over the industry-centered labor market. Further, dual labor market theory has important implications with respect to an individual's career, but this evaluation took place at the beginning of the youth's work history. As a secondary source of information, an in-depth analysis of changes in career aspirations is suggested. (Author/GK) |
