在童年时被寄养的人在成年早期的生活中平均比没有被寄养的同龄人差。最近关于寄养安置对成年早期生活结果的影响的研究提供了混合的证据。一些研究表明，寄养安置对早期成人的结果产生负面影响，其他人发现无效的影响。这项研究表明，寄养停留的平均持续时间的差异解释了这些不一致的结果的一部分，然后使用7220名儿童的行政数据测试寄养时间如何塑造以后的生活结果。这些儿童经历不同的平均寄养时间，因为不同的接触到一个改革。晚出生的队列比早出生的队列在寄养中平均多花3个月的时间。隔离寄养持续时间的外源性变化，研究发现寄养持续时间的增加对收入和劳动力市场参与的积极影响。(C)2013年青少年服务专业人员基金会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Individuals who spent time in foster care as children fare on average worse than non-placed peers in early adult life. Recent research on the effect of foster care placement on early adult life outcomes provides mixed evidence. Some studies suggest negative effects of foster care placement on early adult outcomes, others find null effects. This study shows that differences in the average duration of foster care stays explain parts of these discordant findings and then test how foster care duration shapes later life outcomes using administrative data on 7220 children. The children experienced different average durations of foster care because of differences in exposure to a reform. Later born cohorts spent on average 3 months longer in foster care than earlier born cohorts. Isolating exogenous variation in duration of foster care, the study finds positive effects of increased duration of foster care on income and labor market participation.
