Farahati, F.; Marcotte, D. E.; Wilcox-Gok, V.
Economics of Education Review, v22 n2 p167-78 Apr 2003
Investigates the effect of parents' mental illness on the schooling of their children. Finds that parents' mental illnesses increase the probability of high school dropout of children, though these effects differ markedly with disease. Also finds that parental mental illness has more consistently negative effects on girls than on boys. (Contains 22 references.) (Author/PKP)
