Will Military Reductions Create Shortages of Trained Personnel and Harm the Career Prospects of American Youth?
註釋"Although the military does not serve society primarily as an educational institution, many Americans now view military service as a springboard to careers in the civilian economy--and since the American economy and the military are deeply entwined, a reduction in military spending promises to create social and economic difficulties. If military training does prepare individuals for civilian jobs, then reductions in personnel may constrict the availability of trained individuals in the labor market, just as firms begin to realize that they require a higher skilled workforce. This paper seeks to inform the debate on military reductions by examining the evidence for returns to military service in the civilian economy. Its objective is to identify the dynamics that enable veterans to do better in the civilian economy and the groups of veterans who benefit most fiom military service. Dr. Barley concludes by considering policy options that are consistent with the evidence on the civilian effects of military service."--Web site abstract
