Notes: See Table 2 for sample information. Full-time, full-year (FTFY) employment is defined as at least 1,600 hours of paid work in the reference year. The explanatory variable is the share of years when the daughter was aged 0–17 during which her mother worked full-time. The outcome variable is a binary indicator for the daughter working FTFY in adulthood. Background controls consist of fixed effects for birth cohort, race, division of origin, parental education, and daughter education. Contemporaneous controls consist of the log wage offer, partnership status, a quadratic in partner earnings, a quadratic in the number of children aged 0–5, the number of children aged 6–10, and a quadratic in the individual's age. The wage offer is imputed for nonworking women as described in the online appendix. Robust standard errors, clustered at the individual level, appear in parentheses below the coefficients. Regressions are weighted by PSID core family sampling weights.
