Notes: Outcomes are measured 36 months after birth. Cumulated employment is measured in days, cumulated labor income in euros. Controls in X_i are district fixed effects, age at birth dummies (<25, 25–30, 30–35, 30–40, >40), wage prior to birth dummies (<20, 20–40, 40–60, 60–80, 80–100, 100–120, >120), tertiary education (dummy), and dummies for missing values in either. Robust standard errors in parentheses. Significance levels: ^*p < 0.10, ^**p < 0.05, ^***p < 0.01.
