Abstract
Using data from the 1976 Australian Census of Population and Housing,
estimates of the influence of family income, labour market conditions,
religious denomination, foreign origin, locality and teenage income on
the school participation rate of various teenage groups are obtained.
These results suggest that family income is the most important determinant
of school participation. The effect of the level of unemployment upon
school participation is only modest. In some instances the direction of
its influence is contrary to conventional wisdom.
