Ces chercheurs avaient révélé un effet de rattrapage grâce auquel les diplômés de programmes d’études en arts libéraux, malgré un désavantage en début de carrière par rapport aux diplômés de programmes d’études appliquées, finissaient par avoir des revenus plus élevés vers le milieu deleurscarrières. Selon les données de l’échantillon 5 de l’Enquête sur la dynamique du travail et du revenu (2005-2010), ce rattrapage n’existe plus.  \nIntroduction  \nSome of the most heartening news for those who believe in the value of a liberal arts education was a finding from the first panel (1993) of Statistics Canada’s Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) . Using these data Giles and Drewes (2002) showed that, although liberal arts graduates encounter more difficulties than applied-field graduates do in entering the labour force at a level appropriate for the university educated and suffer more job transitions and spells of unemployment over the first half-dozen years, by midcareer a catch-up occurs. Their sample was divided into under age 25 (hence recent labour force entrants), 25 to 34 (early career), 35 to 44 (up to mid-career) and 45, and over (midcareer and beyond) and showed that income as computed as hourly-wage equivalent was  \nCJHE / RCES Volume 44, No. 2, 2014  \nLiberal arts catch-up / J. Goyder 31  \na little higher by age 45 on for those with humanities and social sciences backgrounds than for applied program graduates. Although initially reported in the Statistics Canada house publications Perspectives on Labour and Income and Educational Quarterly Review, the Giles and Drewes finding received additional coverage in the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations Forum (Drewes, 2002) . The study was noticed within both academic research (Frank and Walters, 2012, p. 97) and in the popular media such as the Globe and Mail (September 24, 2001, p. B8) . Echoes of this same catch-up pattern can be seen in the 1996 census data analyzed by Axelrod, Anisef, and Lin (2001, Tables 2 and 3), where field of study differences in employment success narrowed when comparison was limited to those aged 30 and over. Heisz (2001) found income convergence by 1997 for graduates of British Columbia universities tracked from convocations dating 1974 onward. Catch-up, sometimes referred to as “sleeper effect,” is an important consideration within the subfield of research known as “horizontal stratification”(Gerber and Cheung, 2008; Torche, 2011, p. 768) in postsecondary education, one of the “two axes of stratification within higher education,” noted by Davies and Guppy (1997, p. 1419) .  \nDespite the encouraging finding for catch-up, the more dominant message in research and discussion on liberal arts education has been concern about under-and unemployment among humanities and social science graduates. This view has persisted through the 1990s and 2000s up to the present day and has found expression within both academic literature (Coates and Morrison, 2011, p. 37-39; Côté and Allahar, 2007, 2011; Finnie, 2001, p. 117; Finnie and Frenette, 2003; Frenette, 2004; Livingstone, 1999; Walters, 2004a) and in the popular media such as The Globe and Mail (May 1, 2012, A13; August 30, 2012, B4) . Several such discussions convey growing doubts about how well m","cbCaip4gg1mpk3lp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip4gg1mpk3lp","pdf",562710,"English","# Introduction\n## Catch-up effect in earlier research\n## Persistent concerns about under- and unemployment\n## Competing research streams and possible explanations","[{\"question\":\"What earlier finding does this paper replicate?\",\"answer\":\"Giles and Drewes (1990s work) reported a catch-up effect: despite an early-career disadvantage, liberal arts graduates had higher incomes by mid-career.\"},{\"question\":\"What data and time range are used in the replication?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses Panel 5 of the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (2005–2010).\"},{\"question\":\"What is the main result of the replication?\",\"answer\":\"The catch-up effect reported in earlier decades no longer exists in the 2005–2010 data.\"}]","Liberal arts catch-up revisited - John Goyder | PDF",1792083308,48]
