      abstract = {This article assesses the consequences of poverty between  a child’s prenatal year and 5th birthday for several adult  achievement, health, and behavior outcomes, measured as  late as age 37. Using data from the Panel Study of Income  Dynamics (1,589) and controlling for economic conditions in  middle childhood and adolescence, as well as demographic  conditions at the time of the birth, findings indicate  statistically significant and, in some cases,  quantitatively large detrimental effects of early poverty  on a number of attainment‐related outcomes (adult earnings  and work hours). Early‐childhood poverty was not associated  with such behavioral measures as out‐of‐wedlock  childbearing and arrests. Most of the adult earnings  effects appear to operate through early poverty’s  association with adult work hours.},
