Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The majority of research studies on adolescent employment consider the intensity of work (measured by hours of work per week) as single most important dimension of student employment. However, findings concerning the determinants of work intensity patterns among high school students have been inconsistent. It is conceivable that differences in socioeconomic and academic characteristics between schools and not just differences in characteristics of individual students within these schools affect work intensity patterns. Between-school disparities in schools funding, available resources, class offerings, and normative expectations of college attendance, to name a few, may affect both the educational outcomes of students as well as the intensity of their participation in the adolescent labor market. In order to account for the largely overlooked influence of the school environment on employment intensity levels of students, I account for the differences in socioeconomic and academic characteristics of the schools as well as disparities in student characteristics. Preliminary analysis results indicate that between-school variation in socioeconomic characteristics exerts a significant effect on differences in work intensity patterns of students. Individual characteristics of students, both socioeconomic and academic, are found to be significantly related to employment patterns even when school-level characteristics are accounted for.
