Note: Statistics in the table are based on children aged 5 years and older. Panel A contains summary statistics, similar to Table 1, for the children
of non-fostering households, and Panel B contains school enrollment transition information, similar to Table 2, for these children. In Panel B, I
use 1999 and 2000 enrollment rates for these children, but results are similar using 1998 and 1999 enrollment rates. In Panel B, I exclude 47
children aged 4 in 1999 because they are too young to be enrolled. Data source: Author’s survey.
a Panel C presents difference in differences results comparing average school enrollment for foster children with children from non-fostering
households using pre and post-fostering enrollment for the foster children and 1999 and 2000 enrollment for the other children, with similar results
using 1998 and 1999 enrollment for these other children.
