Abstract

Abstracct-This paper examines the effects of family participation in an income maintenance program on the school, work, and choices of youth. A joint probability model of school and work outcomes is estimated using data from the Seattle and Denver Income Maintenance Experiments. Among youth age 16 to 21 we find the experimental treatment to be associated with a large reduction in the probability of working. This reduction is offset, at least in part, by an increase in school attendance so the net effect on leisure time is apparently quite small.
