p<0.1. “No Father” and “Other Father” refer to living arrangements at Wave I. “Years of education” range from 10 to 20 years. “Categorical Educational Attainment” is a discrete measure ranging from 0=less than high school to 5=post-graduate degree. 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 IV weights.
