Abstract
In this study we try to find out how part-time job experiences during secondary education period influence students’ college-employment choices. It’s controversy whether part-time job experience brings positive or negative effect toward students. Those who hold positive attitude toward teenage employment declare that students can acquire knowledge and skills that is not accessible in school and find their real interest though they would be more positive and aggressive toward their study. Those who oppose teenage employment indicate that for those students who work while in school will spend less time on their study and thus result in depression of their academic performance. So in the long run, teenage employment brings about negative effect toward students. The data source of this study is Taiwan Youth Project from Academia Sinica. Our purpose is to use TYP data collected year by year since 2000 and analyzes these data by multinomial logit model and multinomial probit model to find out how teenage employment、geographic differences and family background affect secondary students’ college-employment decisions. This study reveals that, for senior high school graduates, duration of employment during high school is negative correlated with the probability of entering general university. Female senior high school graduates is more likely to enter general university than their male counterpart; if senior high school graduates had part-time job experiences, they’ll have higher probability transferring to vocational education system and male senior high school graduates have higher probability than their female counterpart. With a higher educated father will lower probability for senior high school graduates to enter university of science and technology. With more years participation of employment during high school will raise the probability to enter labor market right after graduating from school but with a more educated father will lower such probability. For senior vocational graduates, with more years of participation of employment during senior vocational school will lower the probability to enter university of science and technology but those with a well-educated father will raise it. For the choice of entering labor market, the study discloses that the longer duration of employment during senior vocational school, the more likely to enter labor market right after graduating from school. Senior vocational graduates come from Taipei city or are with longer duration of employment during school years will both increase the probability of delaying education.
