“…Table 3 contains the estimated parameters of the ordered probit model described above. For variables that are identically defined, the results of this model are, not surprisingly, similar to those appearing in Gill and Foley [1996] and Kane and Spizman [2001]. The most interesting results are those for the more detailed breakdown of household structure.…”

“…8. Gill and Foley [1996] first utilized the 1979-1992 waves of this survey in their update and expansion of the Spizman-Kane [1992] model. Kane and Spizman [2001] used the 1979-1998 waves of this survey in their analysis.…”

“…The Spizman and Kane [1992] model was estimated using a sample of 7,862 participants in the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. Gill and Foley [1996] used a sample of 7,207 observations from the NLSY79. The Kane and Spizman [2001] model was estimated using a sample of 7,023 individuals.…”

“…12 An additional educational attainment category is included for the category of Associate degree. (In the earlier studies by Gill and Foley [1996] and Kane and Spizman [2001], this category was subsumed within the 1-3 years of college category.)

The Effect of the Loss of a Parent on the Future Earnings of a Minor Child

We quantify the effect of a parent's absence on a child's future earnings. A parent's absence because of separation or divorce reduces a child's lifetime earnings between 3 and 12 percent. Lifetime educational attainment is adversely affected by between 2 and 4 percent if a parent of the same gender as the child dies (a smaller impact than if absence is because of separation or divorce). No such adverse effect is found if a girl's father or a boy's mother dies. We conclude that it is sensible that lifetime earnings loss to children not be estimated in a parent's wrongful death case.

We explore the relationship between earnings, education, and fixed-term contracts using data from the 1997 British Social Attitudes Survey. We find that the log hourly wage of workers employed under such contracts is approximately 13% lower than that of their 'permanent' counterparts, even after controlling for a plethora of personal and job characteristics. Standard decompositions indicate that the vast majority of this differential (more than 70%) is attributable to price effects, which may reflect discrimination on the part of the employer. Such findings may, therefore, suggest that employment protection is appropriate for individuals employed under fixed-term contracts. n University of Leicester nn University of Bath 1 We interpret the term 'fixed-term' as an employment contract of definite duration. 2 The proportion of workers on fixed-term contracts in France, Italy, Spain and the UK increased respectively from 4. 7%, 4.8%, 15.6% and 7.0% in 1985 to 13.1%, 8.2%, 33.6%, and 7.9% in 1997. Approximately 12% of the 150 million strong European Union workforce were employed on fixed-term contracts in 1997 (European Commission, 1999).
