Entering postsecondary education after job loss : family-level considerations / by René Morissette and Hanqing Qiu.: CS36-28-0001/2022-6-3E-PDF

"This study examines whether the likelihood of displaced workers entering postsecondary education (PSE) or choosing a new field of study after job loss varies across family types. The main finding is that, all else equal, the propensity of displaced workers to enter PSE or to choose a new field of study after job loss was fairly similar across types of family units. The types of educational programs selected and their duration also appear fairly similar across types of family units. Conditional on the tax and transfer parameters and tuition fees observed during the 2010s, this finding provides no support for the hypothesis that post-displacement PSE transitions are a "luxury" that only certain types of families can afford"--Abstract, page 1.
