Sample Size 115 48 67

Notes: Displayed are means and (in brackets) standard deviations, averaged at the level of State Economic Area (county group). The underlying sample of children includes native born blacks and whites age 8-16 in IPUMS from RSC surveyed units in the indicated years. The adult sample includes native born black and white females aged 15-49 in IPUMS from RSC surveyed units in the indicated years. School enrollment is calculated using all native born black and whites in the RSC surveyed units between the ages 8 and 16. The Generalized Fertility Rate is the average number of children less than 5 years per female aged 15-49. The age-adjusted fertility is adjusted for the age composition of the population using a regression of fertility on age dummies in the 1910
