p<0.1. “No Father” and “Other Father” refer to living arrangements at Wave I. “School problems” is a standardized index based on factor analysis of the other variables in this table. “Absences” is student-reported absences without excuse in past year, “trouble” variables from student-reported experiences from 0=never to 4=every day. Mothers characteristics include education and dummies for foreign-born and young mother (under 22). All models include birth cohort. All models are weighted by Wave I weights.
