Growing Up in a Single-Parent Family: The Effect on Education and Earnings of Young Men Family Relations 35,1 (January 1986): 161-168. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/584295 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Men Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Earnings; Educational Attainment; Family Influences; Parents, Single The effect of living in a single-parent family on the educational attainment and earnings of young males is examined, utilizing data from the Mature Women and Young Men. Three specifications of living in a single-parent family are tested, using ordinary least squares analysis on models representing education attainment and earnings. The analyses show that living in a single-parent family has a direct negative effect on education, but only an indirect impact on earnings via education. The effect is strongest among those who lived in one-parent families during the preschool years. |
