There is a gap of approximately two years between time 1 and time 2 (the time between waves of LSAC). Transitions include those between Wave 1 and 2, Wave 2 and 3 and Wave 3 and 4. Characteristics are measured at time 2. aAnalyses of disability items uses Waves 2 to 4 only. Source: LSAC Waves 1–4, B and K cohorts. Before we go on to describe the other findings in Table 26, we examine in Figure 8 the employment transitions by family type as well as age of youngest child. This figure includes mothers with youngest children aged up to 7 years, as sample sizes become smaller and estimates less reliable as children grow older. The left panel shows the percentage entering employment and the right panel the percentage leaving employment. The higher rates of entering employment by mothers with self-employed partners are especially apparent for mothers with younger children. Also, for single mothers, higher rates of exiting employment are most apparent for those with younger children.

There is a gap of approximately two years between time 1 and time 2 (the time between waves of LSAC). Transitions include those between Wave 1 and 2, Wave 2 and 3 and Wave 3 and 4.
