Note: Standard errors in brackets. I restrict the table to only households involved in
fostering in 1999 and 2000 because of the need for enrollment information prior to the
fostering episode. For households fostering in 1999, I consider 1998 enrollment as pre-
fostering enrollment and 1999 enrollment as post-fostering. For households fostering in
2000, 1999 is pre-fostering enrollment and 2000 is post-fostering enrollment. Results
are similar if instead I exclude the children fostered in 2000 and use enrollment in the
year of fostering as pre-fostering enrollment and post-fostering enrollment is the
following year. Only children 5 years and older are included in this table. Data source:
Author’s survey.
