Linear probability models of university completion rates at age 25 to 34: Part 2
  Model 1 Model 2 Model 3
Control variables included  
Geographic location no yes yes
Immigrant source region no yes yes
Note(s):
* significant at p<.1, ** p<.05, *** p<.01. In the pooled men's sample, there are 38,662 childhood immigrants and 818,094 Canadian-born individuals. In the pooled women's sample, there are 37,209 childhood immigrants and 835,271 Canadian-born individuals. The 1970s and 1980s cohort intercepts are defined relative to the 1960s cohort represented by the childhood immigrant variable. Parental outcomes refer to outcomes of potential parents and are group-level measures. Data cells are left blank when variables are not included in the model.
