one-tailed tests for latent classes and two-tailed otherwise

OR = odds ratio

All variables measured at Wave 1 unless otherwise indicated. All models included the standard control variables: race/ethnicity, child female, child in very good health, low birth weight, child behavior, grandmother’s education, mother married at birth, food security, and mother’s school enrollment

binary logistic regression compared to no additional children

multinomial logistic regression compared to not working
