  2. Notes: *p < .10, **p < .05, ***p < .01. Standard errors are clustered by parent's source country (mother then father) crossed with which census(es) provided the data. Regressions are weighted using CPS sampling weights adjusted so that each year receives equal weight. Regressions control for age (quadratic), family type, and year fixed effects, and source country GDP per capita and primary and secondary female enrollment rates
