摘要

Since 1980, as the U.S. economy has grown and continued to evolve from a manufacturing-based to a service-based economy, it has become increasingly important for workers to possess a postsecondary degree. In 1980, among fulltime, year-round workers 25 to 34 years old, male college graduates earned 1.2 times as much as male high school graduates while female college graduates earned 1.3 times as much as female high school graduates. By 1997, male college graduates were earning 1.6 times as much as male high school graduates and female college graduates were earning 1.7 times as much as female high school graduates. Not surprisingly, there has also been a dramatic increase in college enrollment, from 11.4 million students in 1980 to 15.4 million students in 1997, an increase of 35 percent. Among the groups experiencing the largest percentage increases in enrollment over this period were women (44 percent), Blacks (64 percent), and those 35 years old and over (139 percent). As a result, the last 20 years have borne witness to notable changes in the characteristics of postsecondary students. Unfortunately, while the importance of obtaining a postsecondary degree has increased, it has also become increasingly difficult for individuals and families to afford postsecondary schooling (that is, schooling beyond high school). This report discusses postsecondary students, the characteristics of the schools they attend, and the costs and financing associated with their schooling. The first section examines the economic and demographic characteristics of postsecondary students during the academic year 1996-97. Part two discusses the characteristics of postsecondary students' educational institutions in 1997. Part three presents the schooling costs faced by postsecondary students in 1996-97 and examines how these costs vary by the economic and demographic characteristics discussed in the first section. Finally, part four describes postsecondary students' patterns of financial aid receipt and investigates whether financial aid receipt varies by either student or institutional characteristics.
