**p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.

^aAll models control for age, sex, dropout status, state, welfare status, and clustering at the community level.

No change in or downward social mobility = reference category for social mobility; no education through primary = reference category for maternal and paternal education; low = reference category for monthly household expenditures.
