Information on the progress of the 1980 graduating high school seniors' educational attainment, work history, marital history, attitudes, and civic participation is presented in this fourth in a series of descriptive summaries about the status of the 1980 high school seniors. Information spans the period from 1980 through 1986. Chapter 1 looks at educational experiences of the 1980 senior class (enrollment in postsecondary education, attainment of one-year and two-year awards and four-year degrees, and educational expectations and progress in postsecondary attainment). Chapter 2 discusses employment experiences of the 1980 senior class (aggregate trends in employment and unemployment, employment experiences of individuals over time, and average wages per hour by level of education and employment pattern). Information on family formation in the 1980 senior class is given in chapter 3 (marital patterns, child rearing patterns, and household locations and composition), and chapter 4 focuses on participation and attitudes of the 1980 senior class (self-concept and locus of control, civic participation, and attitudes about sex roles). Among the major findings are that: (1) students with higher socioeconomic status were more likely to receive four-year degrees than those with lower socioeconomic status; (2) Hispanics, Native Americans, and Blacks were less likely to earn degrees than Whites or Asians; (3) males were employed at higher rates than females throughout the period by six to eight percentage points; (4) women were more likely than men to have ever been married and to have become parents; and (5) men had higher self-concept scores than women, but women were more likely to feel they could control events affecting their lives. Appended are: methodology and technical notes; tables of regression coefficients and adjusted means; data for figures; and means, standard errors, and sample sizes for tables. Twenty-two tables are included. (SM)
