Teen Driver Safety: Additional Research Could Help States Strengthen Graduated Driver Licensing Systems. Report to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and Its Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, House of Representatives. GAO-10-544
Author: Fleming, Susan A.

Teen drivers ages 16 to 20 have the highest fatality rate of any age group in the United States. As a result, states have increasingly adopted laws to limit teen driving exposure, such as Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) systems, which consist of three stages: a learner's permit allowing driving only under supervision; intermediate licensure allowing unsupervised driving with restrictions; and full licensure. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), within the Department of Transportation (DOT), supports state teen driver safety programs by researching teen driver safety issues, working to limit teens' access to alcohol, promoting seat belt use, and encouraging states to implement GDL systems. This requested report identifies (1) key GDL system requirements and the extent to which state programs include these requirements; and (2) challenges states face to improve teen driver safety and how states and NHTSA have addressed the challenges. Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined state GDL systems, visited six states, and interviewed federal and state traffic safety officials and other experts. GAO recommends that NHTSA conduct additional research on teen driver safety requirements such as entry age, passenger and nighttime driving restrictions, and driver education to help identify the optimum provisions of GDL systems. DOT officials reviewed a draft of this report and concurred with our recommendation. Appended are: (1) Objectives, Scope, and Methodology; (2) Recommended GDL Requirements; (3) Requirements of a GDL System and State Driver Safety Provisions; and (4) GAO Contact and Staff Acknowledgments.

Determinants of Job Separation and Occupational Mobility in Australia. Working Paper No. 66
Author: Shah, Chandra
Date: 2009-10-00
Type: Numerical/Quantitative Data
Subjects: Labor Turnover,Occupational Mobility,Unemployment,Gender Differences,Age Differences,Marital Status,Part Time Employment,Education Work Relationship,Place of Residence,Immigrants,Occupations,Foreign Countries

In the year to February 2002, one in every five of the 9.8 million people who worked in Australia experienced at least one job separation. This paper looks at the determinants of job separation within a stayer/mover framework using individual-level data for Australia. Conditional on job separation the paper also investigates the determinants of job-to-job turnover (differentiated by occupation) and job-to-joblessness turnover (unemployment and exit from the labour force). The results show the importance of the normal demographic variables (age, gender, immigrant status and place of residence) but also qualifications and other labour market variables (hours of work, reason for job separation) for explaining turnover behaviour. Appended are: (1) mathematical description of the logit model and that of calculating the marginal effect; and (2) tables and figures. (Contains 10 tables, 13 figures and 8 footnotes.)

On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law. Passed in response to the 2008 recession, the Act's purpose was to create jobs, pump money into the economy, and encourage spending. Through the Act, states received $1.2 billion in funding for the workforce investment system to provide employment and training activities targeted to disadvantaged youth. Congress and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) encouraged states and local workforce investment areas charged with implementing these youth activities to use the funds to create employment opportunities for these youth in the summer of 2009. To gain insights into these summer initiatives, DOL's Employment and Training Administration contracted with Mathematica Policy Research to conduct an implementation evaluation of the summer youth employment activities funded by the Recovery Act. As part of the evaluation, Mathematica analyzed (1) monthly performance data submitted to ETA by the states, and (2) qualitative data collected through in-depth site visits to 20 local areas. This report describes the national context for implementation, provides an in-depth description of the experience of selected local areas, and presents lessons on implementation practices that may inform future summer youth employment efforts. Appended are: (1) Detailed List of Research Questions; (2) Characteristics of Youth Focus Group Participants; (3) Recovery Act Allocations and Draw Downs by State; and (4) Key Performance Statistics by State. (Contains 25 tables, 7 figures and 23 footnotes.) [This report was prepared for the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Policy Development and Research.]

Roads to Success: Estimated Impacts of an Education and Career Planning Program during Middle School. Final Report

Roads to Success (RTS) is a school and career planning program designed to be implemented for 45 minutes per week in grades 7 through 12. Researchers at Mathematica Policy Research used a random assignment design to estimate the impacts of receiving RTS in grades 7 and 8. More than half of the students in these schools were eligible for free or reduced-price lunches and the schools had few minority students. Using student survey data collected from more than 1,400 students, we found no evidence of statistically significant impacts of the RTS program on motivation to go to school to learn job skills or on learning and study habits at the end of grade 8. We did find a statistically significant impact at the 0.10 level suggesting that RTS reduced a composite measure of negative behaviors. However, exploratory analyses of subcomponents of this measure suggested mixed results for student behaviors. We conducted exploratory analyses of additional outcomes and found positive impacts of RTS on talking to school staff about career and school plans, confidence in knowing how to find out about what types of jobs are best, and confidence in knowing what is required to succeed in different careers. However, students in both the treatment and control group reported talking to their parents more than to school staff about most issues regarding school and career planning; more than 90 percent reported agreeing or strongly agreeing with the statement that they "will be able to overcome barriers that stand in the way of achieving my career goals." Also, fewer than 10 percent of the treatment and control group students reported career aspirations or expectations that seemed too high; fewer than one percent reported career aspirations that seemed too low. Appended are: (1) Follow-up Student Survey Instrument; (2) Coding Scheme for Reasonably Ambitious and Realistic Career Expectations; (3) Future Outcome Variables; (4) Full Regression Results for Confirmatory Outcomes; and (5) Subgroup Results. (Contains 1 figure, 21 tables and 25 footnotes.)
