摘要
Over the past century the United States has experienced substantial population-wide gains in educational attainment - increases driven largely by processes of cohort succession Focusing on the adult population age 25-54 we show that there has been (1) a significant attenuation of the historical increases in educational attainment and (2) a shift in the processes underlying educational change that differs by gender Our analysis points to a significant turning point in population-wide educational levels, and from a research perspective has implications for how one interprets findings when using education as a control variable (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc All rights reserved
