“…We do not control for covariates (or the changes in covariates over time) because they may correlate with the error term and lead to bias. In other words, the time-varying factors that are associated with changes in children’s outcomes (family income, educational attainment, and employment; see Table 1) may themselves be influenced by families’ ECE experiences (Blau & Tekin, 2007; Gelbach, 2002; Sabol & Chase-Lansdale, 2015; Schochet & Johnson, 2019).…”

Program administrators and policy makers have placed a priority on expanding access to inclusive, center-based early care and education (ECE) for low-income children with special needs, a “doubly vulnerable” population characterized by academic and social-emotional achievement gaps at kindergarten entry. Yet, no research has documented the effects of center-based settings on doubly vulnerable children’s early development, either relative to other ECE settings (e.g., home-based care) or relative to each other (e.g., Head Start, public preK). The current study utilizes national data and estimates difference-in-differences models to assess the effects of these ECE setting comparisons on changes in doubly vulnerable children’s academic and social-emotional outcomes evident at kindergarten entry. Results suggest that center-based ECE is more beneficial than parental care for language and literacy, and more beneficial than home-based care for prosocial behaviors. There were few differences among center-based ECE types: At trend level, Head Start was linked with better approaches to learning and prosocial skills relative to public preK.

“…Among the sixteen articles selected for the theme of education, four of them addressed the possible macro-level influence on young generations’ school/college education. These influences originated from political instability (Ouili, 2017 ), government policies (Lee 2012 ), and available funded programs (Meng and Pfau, 2012 ; Schochet and Johnson 2019 ).…”

“…They found that offering cash transfer to the poor populations could significantly reduce their poverty and improve their school attendance. Schochet and Johnson ( 2019 ) used data collected in the United States to ask whether child care subsidies increase maternal education level over time. Their results showed that subsidy receipt promoted mothers’ educational attainment, with a larger impact found in mothers who received subsidies when their children were younger (2 years old vs preschool-age).…”

“…The author still thinks it is important to investigate how poverty and health disparity across countries or regions impact the young generations’ educational accessibility and outcome nowadays to provide informed decisions for government and policy makers. The examination of more government programs in promoting educational outcomes should be conducted to determine if positive effects are generated from these programs (Meng and Pfau 2012 ; Schochet and Johnson 2019 ). As different results are found from different approaches to studies on existing policies, we would encourage more studies to be conducted to depict a better picture of policy’s real influence on educational outcomes.…”

The purpose of this paper is to review a group of selected papers on the theme of education published in the Journal of Family and Economic Issues from the past 10 years to see what we have come to know regarding what impacted young generations’ school/college education from the lens of family economics, as well as to share our thoughts on future directions to move the research inquiry forward. The paper first gives a brief description on all articles selected for this review. Followed by, a discussion of findings of these studies from the lens of macro-meso-micro analysis. Gaps in research ideas and methodology as well as future research directions are discussed in the end.
