Notes: The overidentification value is the p value of the overidentification test. All regressions include religion (Malawi only), child sex, birth order, child year of birth fixed effects, district fixed effects, interaction between the dummy variable for young and the district-specific number of girls in primary school before UPE, and interaction between the dummy variable for young and the number of primary school–aged children before UPE.
