How Did Safety-Net Reform Affect the Education of Adolescents from Low-Income Families? Labour Economics published online (13 July 2021): DOI: 10.1016/j.labeco.2021.102031. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092753712100066X Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Geocoded Data; Socioeconomic Background; State-Level Data/Policy Roughly 25 years ago, the US safety net was substantially reformed. Here we ask how those reforms affected the educational attainment of youths who were teens at the time those reforms took place. We take a difference-in-difference approach, following adolescents from two generations roughly 20 years apart. In each generation, we compare two groups, one which was more likely to have been affected by safety-net reform, and one which was less likely to have been affected. Under some assumptions, our approach identifies the joint, or bundled, effects of the constituent policy changes that make up safety-net reform. We find evidence that safety-net reform may have reduced educational attainment for women, and had small positive effects on education for men. We offer suggestions as to why our findings differ from those of previous studies of the components of safety net reform. |
