  1. aColumns (1) and (2) display coefficients of linear regression with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. These specifications include random effects at the cluster level and district fixed effects.
  2. bColumns (3) and (4) display Odd Ratios from conditional logit models with district fixed effects and cluster level random effects. All specifications include child sex, age in months, orphanhood status, highest education (years of schooling completed) in household, household size, household wealth quintile, number of children younger than six years old in the household, number of children between six and 18 years old in the household, average highest level of education completed by adults in cluster, a cluster-level parental mortality, and cluster-level wealth quintile average.
