This research explored the extent to which industrial and occupational labor market segments, labor market institutions, and human capital accumulation impact on a worker's labor market and retirement income. Using data from the older men's cohort of the National Longitudinal Surveys of Work Experience and a path analytic estimation procedure, results supported the hypothesis that labor market segments and labor market institutions exert a powerful impact on labor market earnings and that these influences extend into retirement. Labor market segments exert a more powerful impact on earnings than human capital variables as well as dictate the return on human capital investments while a worker is in the labor market. Labor market segments continue their impact on income once a worker withdraws from the labor force by influencing both the level and source of retirement income. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 44-03, Section: A, page: 0827. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1983.
