Adopted Children's Outcomes as Young Adults in Regards to Educational Attainment and Income The Park Place Economist 17,1, Article 16 (2009):68-75. Also: http://digitalcommons.iwu.edu/parkplace/vol17/iss1/16/ Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Digital Commons@ Illinois Wesleyan University (DC@IWU) Keyword(s): Adoption; Educational Attainment; Family Income; Family Size; I.Q.; Income; Intelligence; Mothers, Education; Poverty; Undergraduate Research Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. My study examines the outcomes of young-adults who were adopted versus those who were not. By measuring educational attainment and income, I believe that this is a better study as it measures an application of intelligence. It looks at the true circumstances of the young adult's life, especially since society tends to evaluate people not on their IQ but instead considers their educational attainment and income. My study will be similar to one conducted by Andres Bjorklund and Katarina Richardson (2000), except I use data from the United States rather than Sweden. |
