Succeeding generations: on the effects of investments in children
Abstract
This study examines the status of children in the United States. It uses data up to 1988 from the Michigan Panel Study of Income Dynamics an ongoing longitudinal survey of 1700 children. The emphasis is on the deteriorating status of Americas children and on the causes of this decline. The authors first examine the factors affecting the chances that children will be economically successful. They then introduce their research in the context of previous studies on the determinants of childrens success. Next they attempt to sort out some of the relationships among the various possible investments in children. The next few chapters look at the determinants of educational attainment nonmarital births and welfare recipiency and economic inactivity. A final chapter summarizes the findings of this research and discusses policy implications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
