Notes: standard errors are clustered by mother/household; instances where 95% CIs do not overlap with 1 are in bold font. Other measures such as the number of people who provide assistance (financial and non-financial) to the mother, and number of lifetime marriages were not associated with the outcome and were dropped from the final analyses. Sex is dropped from fixed effects regression because it is time-invariant; age (for mother and child) is also dropped because there is no variation across respondents in fixed effects regression.
