- Synopsis
- This book examines the effects of child support payments on the educational attainment of young adults in the United States during the 1980s. This study uses the human capital and household production models to examine the effect of child support income and other family income on the educational attainment of children. Investments in children’s human capital are made with inputs of time and market goods and services. The focus of this book is on schooling as an investment in children’s human capital. This book may be a useful resource for researchers in a variety of disciplines who are interested in examining the effect of different legislative actions on the well-being of children. In addition, this study may be used as a supplemental reading in a number of academic settings, such as economics, sociology, and public policy.
