| Abstract: | This paper cponsiders indirect evidence of the importance of job access via networks for the employment of urban youth. We measure the extent to which probabilities of employment and industry affiliation for urban youth are related to proxies for their access to informal networks. Proxies for labor market contracts include the labor market circumstances of the household members - mothers, fathers and siblings - key members of youth's social network. Results support the importance of family networks in facilitating youth access to jobs. |
