Notes: Samples for High School Dropout behaviour consist of all respondents in the NLSY79 data (All Offspring) and the    subsample of respondents that had at least one sibling in the NLSY79 data (Multiple Offspring per Family).
Sampling weights were used to reproduce the population distribution of means.
