Abstract

National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data reveal that 35% of white males who left school between 1979 and 1988 returned by 1989. An estimated wage model shows that those who delay their schooling earned less than those with continuous schooling. The gap increased with the length of time before reenrollment. (SK)
