Average deviation from predicted postsecondary participation rate. Because the educational data are restricted to August 1992 through July 2000, coefficients cannot be estimated more than seven semesters before childbirth for early mothers or more than seven semesters after childbirth for late mothers. The plots in Panel A are therefore truncated at these points

Labor force participation rates and population share by age group, over time. In panel a, a state panel is first constructed from CPS monthly basic files by aggregating labor force participation for each state, year, and age group. The figure in the panel is created from weighted averages of all states’ labor force participation rates, weighted by state population. In panel b, cohort share is constructed from the CPS monthly basic files by dividing the sum of the CPS survey weights for each age group in each state and year by the total sum of the survey weights for ages 16–69 in each state and year. The figure in the panel is constructed from weighted averages of all the states’ cohort shares, weighted by state population. Source: Census Population Survey (CPS) 1977–2016.
