    Author

Abstract

Aspirations of youth have long been of interest to educational researchers and practitioners. In exploring educational or occupational aspirations, researchers generally examine variables such as sex, community size, place of residence, race, socioeconomic status, effect of time (age), determinants of and influences on aspiration development or a combination of these. This literature review focuses on studies which examined the aspirations of rural, non-farm youth in the United States.
