| Abstract: | This study demonstrates that place-defined in this article as labor market area (LMA)- provides a useful context for examining how youth manage gendered situations. Places vary by conditions in which gender is more, less or differently salient, and a particular mix of factors accommodates different individual outcomes. This study utilizes multi-level modeling to examine influence of LMA characteristics on over-time educational measures for young women (Center for Human Resource Research 1994). Hierarchical models determine place-level effects on both average outcomes (within and between LMAs) and attainment processes. A major finding of this study is that aggregate place effects channel personal decisions and outcomes of young women. |
