Notes: All models use multiple imputations. Model 1 includes only income, model 2 adds hukou status and other covariates, and model 3 adds district income to model 2. Reference groups: high family income, urban hukou status, first birth child, HHs w/o a grandparent, parental care, no health insurance, good health, standard daytime hours, and high district income
