AbstractThe risk of labor market, health, and asset-value shocks comprise profound retirement savings challenges for older workers. Parents, however, may experience added risk if their children experience adverse labor market shocks. Prior research has shown that parents support their children financially through an unemployment spell. In this paper, we also provide evidence of financial support from parents and investigate if this financial support is accompanied by adjustments to parental consumption, income, or savings behavior. With longitudinal data on mothers and children from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we use within-mother variation in behavior to identify the effect of a child’s labor market shock on parent outcomes. We find evidence of a decline in consumption, an increase in labor supply, and a decrease retirement savings, though the results are heterogenous among mothers. Our results point to aggregate inefficiencies and inequities that may result from family risk sharing.

The nation's high school seniors are using fewer drugs than any class since 1975, a report from the National Institute on Drug Abuse showed. Researchers said they were particularly encouraged by results showing a drop in cocaine use for the second year in a row, and the beginnings of a reversal in the soaring use of crack, an inexpensive, refined form of cocaine. However, the war against drugs is far from over, with more than half of all students using an illegal substance at least once before graduating, said Charles R. Schuster, NIDA director. Moreover, drug use remains at a very high level among high school dropouts, he said. The survey polled 16,300 high school seniors from 135 schools nationwide.

Normative data were collected on 197 disadvantaged high school dropouts on the dimension of internal-external control. Findings indicate that this group appears to be external but not markedly so, and a short-term intervention program designed to improve academic and vocational skills did not appear to affect locus of control of 33 subjects.
