The All-Volunteer Force: An Analysis of Youth Participation, Attrition, and Reenlistment

摘要

The monograph presents preliminary cross-tabular analyses of the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Labor Market Experience. These analyses represent only a first cut at the data. They should not be considered definitive in any way; further refinements of the data, reweighting, and more sophisticated multivariate analyses may yield other results. Due, however, to the need of the Department of Defense and the Services for early indications of where the 1979 NLS Youth Survey may lead, we present a series of descriptive chapters and preliminary findings.
