Maternal Incarceration and Children's Education and Labor Market Outcomes Labour: Review of Labour Economics and Industrial Relations 31,1 (March 2017): 43-58. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/labr.12086/abstract Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Childhood Adversity/Trauma; Dropouts; Educational Attainment; Grade Retention/Repeat Grade; Labor Market Outcomes; Mothers, Incarceration; Parental Influences I estimate the effect of maternal incarceration on education and labor market outcomes. I link mother-child panels and estimate maternal fixed effects to control for unobservable household heterogeneity. Maternal incarceration from birth to age 10 is associated with increased grade retention and dropout rates. Conditional on completing high school, incarceration from 15 to 17 is associated with decreased college attendance. Maternal incarceration does not appear to have a further effect on employment, but some wage penalties are apparent. Propensity score analysis suggests that controlling for unobservable household characteristics is vital when examining the link between incarceration and labor outcomes. |
