Robust standard errors in parentheses. All models include individual fixed effects and control for occupation mean years of education, occupation mean log hourly wages, occupation mean unemployment, calendar year fixed effects, logged income of other household members, age, school enrollment, region, partnership status and partner employment (unpartnered, partner not employed, partner works part-time, partner works full-time, and partner overworks), and marital status. Models 1 and 2 also control for higher order births. Model 4 uses years 3 and 4 pre-birth as the reference period and year 2 pre-birth as the placebo indicator of parenthood.
