Following Children Over Time: Child Development and Its Linkages with Family Social and Economic Transitions Presented: Ottawa, ON, Statistics Canada Symposium on Design and Analysis of Longitudinal Surveys, 1992. Also: http://www.nlsinfo.org/usersvc/Child-Young-Adult/BakerMott1992ChildrenOverTime.pdf Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Statistics Canada Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Children, Behavioral Development; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Maternal Employment; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading) Using data from the NLSY Child surveys, this paper explores how family poverty and maternal employment are linked to changes in childrens' cognitive and behavioral outcomes. The analyses employ a change score approach to first assess short-term changes in child outcomes between two successive data points (1986 to 1988 or 1988 to 1990) and levels family conditions in that interval, controlling for prior individual and family attributes. Results are then provided for a longer period over three survey points from 1986-1990 which suggest that cognitive and socioemotional change for children can vary, depending on the duration of time between base and end point as well as other factors such the child's race and maturational level. |
