School Disengagement, School‐Age Births and High School Graduation: Evidence From Linked Administrative Records
BACKGROUND: Failure to complete secondary education often results from a process of educational disengagement. Studies of teen childbearing and high school completion have not adequately accounted for the role of school disengagement prior to conception and may overestimate causal impacts of teen childbearing. METHODS: We link New York City birth and school records to study a cohort of 22,484 Black and Latina public school students. We measure di…
Longitudinal Patterns of School Disengagement before Conception among New York City Teen Mothers
BACKGROUND: School-based pregnancy prevention programs should optimally be offered while students are still engaged in school since early disengagement is strongly associated with risk of a teen birth. METHODS: We used linked New York City birth and enrollment data (2005-2013), a sample of 6,809 teen mothers (mean age conception = 16.2 years). We measured preconception disengagement using monthly absences, age 12 until conception, and identified …
Medicaid Expansions and Poverty: Comparing Supplemental and Health-Inclusive Poverty Measures
We estimate relationships between Medicaid expansions and poverty, using the Census Bureau’s supplemental poverty measure (SPM) and a recently developed health-inclusive poverty measure (HIPM). The HIPM modifies the SPM by adding a need for health insurance to the SPM poverty threshold and by adding a family’s health insurance benefits to family resources. Results from logistic regressions that control for sociodemographic characteristics, income…
Estimating the educational consequences of teenage childbearing: Identification, heterogeneous effects and the value of biological relationship information
An assessment of the validity of the Ecers-R with implications for measures of child care quality and relations to child development
The Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale-Revised (ECERS-R) is widely used to associate child care quality with child development, but its validity for this purpose is not well established. We examined the validity of the ECERS-R using the multidimensional Rasch partial credit model (PCM), factor analyses, and regression analyses with data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Birth Cohort. The PCM identified rating category disordering,…
Does Child-Care Quality Mediate Associations Between Type of Care and Development
Studies document that, on average, children cared for in centers, as compared to homes, have higher cognitive test scores but worse socioemotional and health outcomes. The authors assessed whether the quality of care received explains these associations. They considered multiple domains of child development-cognitive, socioemotional, and health-and examined whether mediation is greater when quality measures are better aligned with outcome domains…

The Child and Adult Care Food Program: Who Is Served and Why
This article focuses on an understudied food subsidy program, the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), examining whether it reaches low-income children and whether children who receive CACFP differ from those who do not receive it. Data come from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort, which provides a representative sample of preschoolers and their providers. This study finds that CACFP eligibility rules exclude many low-inco…
Child Care and Work Absences: Trade-Offs by Type of Care
Parents face a trade-off in the effect of child-care problems on employment. Whereas large settings may increase problems because of child illness, small group care may relate to provider unavailability. Analyzing the NICHD Study of Early Child Care, we find that child-care centers and large family day care lead to mothers' greater work absences because of a sick child, but not to maternal job exits. Greater work absences because of unavailabilit…
The effects of maternal employment on child injuries and infectious disease
This article presents estimates of effects of maternal paid work and nonmaternal child care on injuries and infectious disease for children aged 12 to 36 months. Mother-child fixed-effects estimates are obtained by using data from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care. Estimates indicate that maternal employment itself has no statistically significant adverse effects on the incidence of infectious disease and injury. However, greater time spent by …

Has welfare reform changed teenage behaviors
Data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth 1979 and 1997 cohorts were used to compare welfare use, fertility, educational attainment, and marriage among teenage women in the years before and immediately following welfare reform. The first objective was to document differences between these cohorts in welfare use and outcomes and behavior correlated with entry into welfare and with future economic and social well‐being. The second object…
On the Validity of Retrospective Assessments of Pregnancy Intention
Information on pregnancy intention is often gathered retrospectively (after the birth of a child). This article investigates whether the retrospective assessment of pregnancy intention leads to biased estimates of the extent or consequences of unintended fertility. Comparisons are made between pregnancy intentions ascertained during pregnancy and after birth using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. After correction for selective…

The Stability of Pregnancy Intentions and Pregnancy-Related Maternal Behaviors
The effect of pregnancy intention on child development
In this paper, we use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to investigate the empirical link between unintended pregnancy and child health and development. An important contribution of our study is the use of information on siblings to control for unmeasured factors that may confound estimates of the effect of pregnancy intentions on infant and child outcomes. Results from our study indicate that unwanted pregnancy is associated wi…
Gender and Family Issues in the Workplace
The Economic Reality of the Beauty Myth
We investigate income, marital status, and hourly pay differentials by body mass (kg/rn2) in a sample of 23 to 31 year olds drawn from the 1988 NLSY.Obese women have lower family incomes than women whose weight-for-height is in the "recommended" range.Results for men are weaker and mixed.We find similar results when we compare same-sex siblings in order to control for family background (e.g., social class) differences.Differences in economic stat…

The socioeconomic costs of teenage childbearing: Evidence and interpretation
There is little evidence to support the reasons suggested by Hoffman et al. for treating the results based on the NLSYW as outliers. There is even some evidence that might lead one to favor the NLSYW estimates. After some investigation, which of the range of within-family estimates across data sets is most accurate remains unsettled (although exploring differences in cross-sectional estimates from the sisters subsamples seems promising). In addit…

Comment on Pampel and Pillai’s “patterns and determinants of infant mortality in developed nations, 1950–1975”
The authors critically examine an article by Fred C. Pampel and Vijayan Pillai on the determinants of infant mortality in developed countries. A reply by Pampel and Pillai is included (pp. 159-61). The focus of the debate is on the extent to which teenage fertility raises infant mortality rates. (ANNOTATION)

Does Marriage Really Make Men More Productive
Productivity; Wages
Marriage, Motherhood, and Wages
We explore several problems in drawing causal inferences from cross-sectional relationships between marriage, motherhood, and wages. We find that heterogeneity leads to biased estimates of the "direct" effects of marriage and motherhood on wages (i.e., effects net of experience and tenure); first-difference estimates reveal no direct effect of marriage or motherhood on women's wages. We also find statistical evidence that experience and tenure na…
