“…See, for example, Astone and McLanahan (1991), Hogan and Kitagawa (1985), Krein andBeller (1988), andSandefur (1994). Manski, et al (1992) used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY) initiated in 1979 to estimate the effect on high school graduation of living in an intact two-parent home during 13 adolescence.…”

Analysis of randomized experiments with missing covariate and outcome data is problematic because the population parameters of interest are not identified unless one makes untestable assumptions about the distribution of the missing data. This paper shows how population parameters can be bounded without making untestable distributional assumptions. Bounds are also derived under the assumption that covariate data are missing completely at random. In each case the bounds are sharp; they exhaust all of the information that is available given the data and the maintained assumptions. The bounds are illustrated with applications to data obtained from a clinical trial and data relating family structure to the probability that a youth graduates from high school.

“…There is some early United States research supporting the "early is worse" proposition from the 1980s (Krein 1986;Krein and Beller 1988). Krein and Beller find the effect on years of completed schooling is strongest during early childhood, increases with amount of exposure and is larger for boys than girls.…”

“…Research indicates that low levels of education in specific populations are correlated with factors such as socio-economic status (Eagle, 1989), ethnicity (Gang & Zimmermann, 2000), geography (Garner & Raudenbush, 1991), and parental educational attainment (Krein & Beller, 1988). Several studies have indicated that low educational attainment levels among Indigenous peoples in Canada are also tied to colonialism (Miller, 1996).…”

In this article, the educational attainment of Indigenous peoples of working age (25 to 64 years) in Canada is examined. This diverse population has typically had lower educational levels than the general population in Canada. Results indicate that, while on the positive side there are a greater number of highly educated Indigenous peoples, there is also a continuing gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Data also indicate that the proportion with less than high school education declined, which corresponds with a rise of those with a PSE; the reverse was true in 1996. Despite these gains, however, the large and increasing absolute numbers of those without a high school education is alarming. There are intra-Indigenous differences: First Nations with Indian Status and the Inuit are not doing as well as non-Status and Métis peoples. Comparisons between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations reveal that the documented gap in post-secondary educational attainment is at best stagnant. Out of the data analysis, and based on the history of educational policy, we comment on the current reform proposed by the Government of Canada, announced in February of 2014, and propose several policy recommendations to move educational attainment forward.
